I currently have an Cyrix 480 chip overlocked but still only at a meazly 300 mhz

I have the opportunity to purchase an amd k62 500 mhz chip for cheap

Is it worth it I really cant afford a new mobo or I would currently have a super7 socket is there any chip faster than the amd k62 500 mhz ?

and has anyone else used this chip ?
if so what were your results as far as aces high is concerned ?

Thats the fastest (common)SS7 chip made. Unless you can get your hands on a K6-3(rare) which are a little better.

I have a k6-2 500 on my 2nd PC and it runs AH just fine. (nothing spectacular though)

Dont pay more than 30$ for that chip, i would pay 25$ tops my self.

Many moons ago in a galaxy far far away I played AH on a K6-2 450 with a 16mb ATI card and it ran ok in 800x600 res. Nothing spectacular, but it was playable.

200+ mhz more for cheap money. Go for it.

Cyrix isn't worth any amount of money. Sorry, one man's opinion, and you DID ask.
