Fernando, I had a terrible experience with the K6III-450.  I was never able to
get my system to work right.  I tracked the problem back to an incompatibility
with the motherboard.  One poster suggested that you use a motherboard on AMD's
approved list.  Do that before you do anything else.

I eventually scraped my K6.  The box makes for a great magazine rack. I now run
an Intel P-III.  It runs about 20 degrees cooler and is a solid as a rock.  I'll
take a processor from the buggy company ... or whatever it is the nutty poster
had to say :)
