I have two machines running on K6, one is a K6 233 (K6-1, MMX but not "3Dnow!")
and this one:
FreeBSD 4.0-CURRENT #0: Fri Feb 5 12:32:04 CET 1999
ugo@pegasus.home.net:/usr/src/sys/compile/PEGASUS
Timecounter "i8254" frequency 1193220 Hz
CPU: AMD-K6(tm) 3D processor (374.89-MHz 586-class CPU)
Origin = "AuthenticAMD" Id = 0x580 Stepping=0
Features=0x8001bf<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,MCE,CX8,MMX>
That's a K6-2/333 a *little* overclocked :-)
I previously run on a K6-1/200 fine.

It was with older K6-1 (production date before 9723 IIRC). You may read the
production date on the top label of the CPU, on the line below the
"2.9V CORE/3.3V I/O" one. I think (correct me if I am wrong) that this applies
to K6-1/233 too, but should be history now (BTW, I still have access to a
couple of those older processors).
