K6-2 & Athlon Clocks

[DHR]

The old grey matter isn't what it used to be, so I can't remember for sure, but I'm not mad for saying back then us oldies could get big clocks am I?

I seem to have my K6-2 550mhz hitting 1Ghz and an Athlon going from 1Ghz to 1.4-1.5Ghz, never thought I'd forget either but they seem like huge leaps, I'm not making it up right

This was when an OC was way more noticeable, so I think I trust myself, but just wanted that little bit of validation

Not a chance that a k6-2 hit 1ghz

Has to be the Athlon then which tallies with @PieEater, did think it would have been a bit mad, gutted I can't remember properly now though!

400Mhz to 550-600Mhz rings a bell now you mention it, wondering where that's where I remembered the 550Mhz from in the first place.

Although it's still fun to do, I'm reaching the point where, probably because of how I use my PC, the OC is for the hell of it, not for any real noticeable end user gain. The benefits for me, other than seeing benchmark numbers, aren't really felt to the degree it's worth it, where as back then 20-40% extra performance for very little was noticeable in games and even boot up times.

Think I'm more about quiet cooling and longevity these days, than a bigger benchmark scores.

...I really do want to watercool one day though, that is still on my list of things to do
