Hello, I have a K6-2/500AFX with standard letters, but also I have one with the letters green, is a different version or perhaps is the color of thermal paste?
Thank you in advance |

Interesting, it means we can control the color of printing using different thermal paste:)

the 'printing' on the K6-2 is actually just a very fine engraving so it can be filled with various things (I use a dry erase marker to fill the engravings to assist in scanning them)

|
|
This is one of only 5 in the world golden K6 processors. In 1999, AMD made 5 golden K6-2, and placed them in regular retail packaging like any processor. The lucky 5 who purchased the golden K6-2 were invited to go on a tour of AMD manufacturing plant on 31 December 1999.
Due to the special heat conduction properties of gold, this CPU can overclock very well. This one goes up to * 522.5 MHz * easily, and I got it up to * 533.5 MHz !! * with a little extra voltage. |

The gold stuff seems not to be well done on the surface, it looks very weak or let's say it is not plated well according to the picture, right?
