One other thing to consider is that not all K6-2's can run at 100MhZ.  I
found this out myself when I ordered some and found out they are supposed to
run at 66 MhZ.  Some of them I can get running at 100 and others won't even
post at that speed.  The chip itself should be labelled.  I will admit the
chips I had that issue with were 300's, so I'm not sure if the 333 is the
same way.
