I assume since the internal voltage on the newer chips is lower that this helps reduce heat, but my recollection is that its still around 10watts/hour. I'm sure there are specs on AMD's web site. Actually, I just got a k6-2/300 awhile ago, let me dig up the white sheet that came with it... Okay, amd says the nominal/typical power dissipation is 10.35W for the 300. The max is 17.2W. For the 266: 8.85W, 233: 8.1W, 333: 11.4W, 350: 11.4W -Paul -- R.
