Satish,
Re -- My son showed me an independent performance comparison that shows the K6-233 is as good as PII-233 MMX from Intel. So we bought one because of the price difference.

This does not connect with you being a hardware engineer. The K6/233 was initially speced at 3.2 volts. Increasing the voltage to 3.3 volts, implies that the chip is now operating at the max/outside the limits of the spec. Being a hardware engineer, you should know that, at these levels, reliability and the life of the chip is at risk. Furthermore check the heat generated.
