John Y Wang, RE:"When you buy a P-II, you can easily overclock it to 500MHz+. When you buy a K6-2, you are stuck with that speed. AMD cherry-picked the hell out of the 400MHz bin.".... When you bump a P-II from 450 to 500 you put stress on all your peripherals since you run them out of spec. This because you can no longer run at 100 Mhz bus/3=33MHz PCI. AMD chips bump one speed grade quite easily. Usually no more and unlike the Pentium IIs they are not clocklocked.
