The only K6-2/450 is the special (a LOT more than $100) cooled off version by
Kryotech. Upgrade if you want to, but I wouldn't do it because I hoped for a 50
point gain in my chess programs. That's weird. Hiarcs will definitely feel the
difference though, as it is a slow searcher and tends to really pick up in
strength the faster the processor. Rebel will also gain as it favours AMD
processors, so yes, you may get a 50 point difference if you go for a K6-2/350
for example (that's what I have).
