Thanks for any >comments John, the average o/c speed of the K6-2 350 is 416,,you can get as high as 500 with a good m/b and extra cooling. I say this as it is likely a cheaper method than changing to a K6-2 450. You don't say if your m/b would allow this change or if you would also need a new m/b. The K6-2 450 can easily be o/c to 500 without extra cooling just make sure the m/b allows changing the front side bus speed manually. See the following sites for extra information: http://www.overclockers.com/ (Go to CPU database) http://people.ne.mediaone.net/serpico1/overclock.htm http://www.hardwarecentral.com/hardwarecentral/ If you have concerns about overclocking and just want to change from your K6-2 350 to a K6-2 450 then you can check rebel's list. http://www.rebel.nl/bench.htm This indicates you would not get much more than 10 performance rating points, which without o/c would seem to make the exercise worthless. Thanks.
