Which problems???

I am currently developping Tiger on a K6-2 300MHz machine. It was originally
written on a Pentium processor (not specially optimized for it BTW), and runs
fine on the K6-2.

All I see is that K6-2 is very fast and cheap.

The only drawback so far is that it does not support overclocking.

But what else?
