AMD K6-2 266 Core Voltage Input/Output Voltage Bus Speed  Clock Multiplier
                2.2v         3.3v                 66Mhz         4x

AMD K6-2 300
                2.2v         3.3v                100Mhz         3x

Price difference between a 266 and a 300 is only $6.00
They should see a difference between the Cyrix and the AMD K6-2. Be sure to
get the K6-2 patch for Quake II. Also if you use a 3DFX card (Voodoo 1,
Voodoo 2.) Be sure to go into Quake and change the video rendering from
software to 3Dfx or Open GL.Otherwise Quake will ignore the 3D card.
