Maybe not a 64M limit,  but there do seem to be limits out there,  and I'm
still finding out what some of them are.  I wonder why that K6-3 is so
scarce?  No matter,  even a 500MHz K6-2 will give me a 2-1/2 times speed
increase over what I'm running now,  and I wouldn't have any complaints
about that whatsoever!  :-)
