subject: what do I have here?

Hi Roy! :-)

Well, I have one VIA MVP3 socket 7 motherboard that still works, and there
the cacheable limit of the 1 MB motherboard cache is 256 MB. I only have
lowly 133 MHz IBM CPU for that, though, since the K6-2 450 MHz died because
the fan failed (over a weekend, so nobody was there to hear the overheat
alert sounds).

 RJT> I wonder why that K6-3 is so scarce?
Can't say, but around here it was more difficult to get a K6-3 than a K6-2
when both were current processors.

 RJT> No matter,  even a 500MHz K6-2 will give me a

Yep, 500 MHz is a good enough workhorse for most things.

Ciao
