GPL - upgrade suggestions please?

My understanding about the k-6-2/3 difference for *** is very small, i run a
k-6-2 450, 128mb pc100 RAM, and one Voodoo2, I get a solid 36fps online, with 19
AI cars in front of me, i get 25-30 fps, but who cares, I get 36 fps online, go
get a k-6-2 450, and join us online!!

> P3's and Athlons are a bit too pricy at the moment out this way.
