not neccessarily bad.  not needed with modern systems being rather but
some people just like to push the limits.

since you have a k6-3 i don't recommend overclocking.  Those procs were
already clocked pretty high bc amd was playing catch-up with intel.

I do agree with other posters about the bus.  get the bus speed up as
high as you can where the system is stable.  Some of the k6 cpus even
used 75Mhz and 83Mhz bus speeds as a standard.  That's about as high as
you can hope for.  What's your processor speed?

Be careful though, some systems and components from this era don't like
running at those bus speeds.

And get a faster hard drive if possible but that probably means spending
money and that's a no go for this system.  Better to put $$ towards a
new one.

And lastly you can always install gentoo so that you optimize code for
k6 instead of running 386 code.  How big is your hard drive?
