A conservative setting for a 400 would be something like 425-475, but these things are spaceheaters anyhow. You might get away with a minimal overclock on the K6-2, but not anything big. My advice is leave it be. All my overclocking attempts with a K6-2/400 have failed miserably under just about any OS you can think of.
