We've got several AMD K6-2 450 and 500 running as webservers. Some on
Linux, some on FreeBSD (it's planned to migrate the Linux ones to
FreeBSD in the nearer future). All of them are fast and at an
incredible price. If you want to have the best perfomance, go for a
SuperSocket 7 mainboard with VIA MVP3 and 1 Mb 2nd level cache. Or, if
you don't mind spending some extra bucks: go for AMDs new Duron CPU
which rocks like hell...

Best regards,
 Gabriel
