This is indeed correct, but be careful as Rebel is well-known to favour AMD
chips. Some programs like Fritz and Crafty perform much better on an Intel CPU.
I for one have a K6-2/350 and am very satisfied with it. The biggest gripe with
the K6 series is it's FPU performance which is considerably less than the Intel
chips. The new K7 should change all this but let's wait for proper testing to
find out.
