| I am looking for a CPU Water Cooler for an AMD K6-III

He should use Rain, setK6d, silver paste, remove cpu cover, add hsink to
sram, fan cool s7 pins, before buying a water cooler.
For the cost & bulk & noise & electricity need of a water cooler, he can
buy a new / used cheap sA mboard ( e.g. Chaintech 7NIL1 ) & a cheap sA
cpu, no need to OC & still get more speed + new features ( e.g. AGP v3,
USB v2, ATA133 ).
Even a Duron 1.6 & KT266a with sdr ram @133mhz CL2 can score 2068
mb/s ( in Wintune98 ). A barton on nForce2 & 2channel ddr400 @200mhz
: 3017 mb/s. The fastest I got from MVP3 & K6III400 @115x4 mhz was
just 960 mb/s. Comparison of video speeds will show more differences,
e.g. video frame rate ( in Zing player ) is only ½ without Fast Write ( which
s7 chipsets lack ).
