Of course it isn't worth the extra 350 bucks. Especially if you are into business apps and the games you play are 3DNOW enabled.
A Celeron 400 is even a better choice than a Pentium II-450 speed/price wise.

Keith, for K6-3 vs. Pentium II, go to anandtech.com

The record there shows that a K6-3-400, even running with a 66 MHz backside bus and nominal (for Socket 7) 1MB motherboard cache beats a Celeron 300A overclocked to 450 or a Pentium II at 450. If I remember correctly, the advantage was even greater on Windows NT, but I can't find the original K6-3 benchmark results anymore.
