Then why didn't you use this thread sicne you knew about it?
Well, anywise,

thats why i suggested the powerleap device as it has built in voltage regulators to overcome this problem on regular pc's AND multiplyer hurdles on old pc's.

All of the Pentium 233Mhz I have pulled from 4x00 units has been 2.8V. If memory serves, the K6-2 CPUs did run at 2.2V as you indicate, but I do seem to recall some people got away with overvolting them. I do agree however that this is a pretty serious overvolt (18%). I do not usualy recommend more than 10% overvolting, and even then do not like doing it.
I see two problems with your suggestion of the powerleap adapter (or any CPU adapter). #1) Availability. Even on ebay, these are hard to even find now days. #2) It won't work for a 4100, which more people have. There is barely 1/4 inch clearance between the CPU fan and the top of the case in a 4100 as it is.
This does not mean it is a bad idea. In fact it may be worth investigating. Just go in with eyes wide open and look for the flaws. I know people were using those K6-2 processors in standard socket 7 motherboards without voltage control and without proper mulipliers etc. I just can't remember what they did anymore. It was more than likely an overvolt of the CPU and then some jumper wires wire-wrapped on the CPU pins. Been way too long ago for me to remember.
I was going to do some playing around with it, but I don't have any K6-2 CPUs laying around and no spare cash to go buying them, thus I never got to it.
