Frankly, I doubt that a K6 300 will show a lot of improvement over an
Intel P250. I guess you won't replace the mainboard, so you will still
be limited to 83MHz bus (and L2 cache) speed. The 50 extra MHz will
probably be eaten up by the K6's slightly inferior FPU performance.
At best, a K6 300 will do approx. 350MHz, so there's not a lot of
overclockability in that one either. But since I have neither the chip
nor the sim, this is pure (though informed) speculation. :)
