I think it's entertaining to see the Pentium 233 MMX on that list. The part must be out of production for 2 years at least, about all it would be good for is a minimal upgrade for some Intel mobos that would support it and nothing better. Anything that could support a 233 must have been at least a 166 to begin with.

The P233 MMX can be had on pricewatch for $34, which is modestly cheaper than the cheapest k6, a 475 part at $42 or a 500 at $43. The real low cost leader is the cyrix 300 MII, which can be had for $28. The geek's choice in this retro upgrade contest is a k6-III+ 450 for $55.

Cheers, Dan.
