My old DOS/Win9x setup is a K6-2 500Mhz on a DFI K6XV3+/66. Lately I've been thinking about replacing the K6-II with a K6-III chip, as I understood that the extra level of cache makes the K6-III much snappier clock-per-clock in Windows environment.
So far the only source I see on eBay is this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-AMD-K6-III-450ACR … 7-/281835528915
It's a K6-III+ ACR and he seems to have a lot of them. Can it be used? Is it a good candidate?
Will I need to modify the BIOS of the K6XV3+/66 to support it? The board has no official support for the mobile CPUs, and this page gives a beta BIOS link:

Any caveats / possible compatibility issues can arise with the III/III+ compared to the K6-2?
