There is no such thing as an AMD K6-III 725 MHz!
This guy (see auction below) replied with the following insane excuse for listing the computer as such :D

"Since I am the one who owns the computer and I am the one who did the processor upgrade to an AMD K6 III processor with a clock speed of 725mhz I am only reporting the information that the computer puts out in terms of the processor speed according to the software that came with it."

It was probably one of those Evertech upgrades. Which some use K6 III, while others used some of the VIA/Cyrix chips. And, I bet his BIOS didn't recognize the CPU.

maybe he overclocked it? :confused:

Or the multiplier may be set incorrectly in BIOS.

I think he is just BSing in order to make the PC sound more powerful than what it is.

This is not an upgrade. The K6-III maxxed out at 450 MHz and had a max multiplier of 5.5 - with an FSB of 100MHz you cannot reach the number 725 in any combination!

See the Socket 7 AMD CPUs multiplier settings here: http://www.elsaco.com/epox/support/faq-51.html

I wonder what the software was?

Windows? :D

Its like when copying files from HDD to HDD always misrepresents the amount of time for transfer.

No clue.

Hmmm - Think he would barter it for - my 286?
At least it still has it's EGA moniter :)

Possible Answers to the KIII-725 :D..

1) It's not. (My first guess)
2) It's overclocked (Unlucky buyer)
3) It's this (http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=63641) (And we can all get a laugh again :D)
