The problem is that there are still too many variables.  The K6 and a
plain Pentium use different voltages, etc.  My best guess would be to try
running the thing at a different voltage.  Several people have said they
had to up the voltage a little to overclock the chip.  We might try
bumping the voltage by .1 or .2 volts and see what happens.  Checking
cooling never hurts, either.
