We tested many (recent, though) K6-2 450 and all of them run rockstable @ 500 MHz (no problem running make world then times looped), many even quite a bit higher. But anyway, we don't use them for production servers (all of us hate Intel, so AMD is our choice. And those K6-2 are incredibly cheap. Personally, I prefer to have two K6-2 servers at about the same price one P3 would cost).
