Why would you use one of those with anything other then a super socket 7 motherboard? Even you your board's bios supports the K6-3, it will run like crap compared to how it would run on a MVP3 or ALi Aladdin V. You're also limited to 83MHz (on a good day) x 3.5 on i430 chipsets (as far as I know).
I can understand building an i430 based machine for a Pentium or Cyrix CPU, but using a K6-2+ or K6-III si a waste in my point of view.
K6-3 can run on TX boards 6x75 = 450 MHz no problem. I don't like MVP3 and ALi chipsets. Their only advantage is half-working AGP and 100MHz FSB, which is kinda pointless for me. If I want more performance, PII/III or Athlon is the way to go. K6 will be slow for more demanding games no matter what board it will run on.
