Evidence for K6-2 speedpath problem really being fixed.
1. AMD ships as many chips in March as Jan and Feb combined.
2. Major drop in price of K6-2-400s near the end of March.
3. Introduction of 450 MHz K6-2.
4. Introduction of 475 MHz K6-2.
5. Reports that K6-2s are much easier to overclock to higher clockspeeds.
6. Kryotechs 600 MHz machine based on K6-2-475 in volume production. Previous high was 500MHz (cooled).

I,m curious to know if the new 450s and 475s really need 2.4v. This is counter evidence that those speed are totally fixed.
