If you can boot from the hard drive you can run the K6-III+ as long as you make the voltage mods to support 2 volts core voltage. I have V3's, V4's and V5's all running at 450Mhz. Be sure to install a cooling resistor in the output lead on Q16 before you try this, otherwise you will cook your board and kill it. This is the voice of experience talking. See other threads for details on varios version mods to support 2 volts.
The bios won't know what you are doing, but it doesn't matter. It will not know what CPU it is or what FSB speed you are running, but it runs like greased lightning!

RE:PC Liquidators Has K6-III+ In Stock Again (modified 0 times)
These chips are really, really good. As the thread sez, they go 450 in an i-opener. Outside of i-openers, I know of folks who have clocked these to over 600 in some of the FIC mobos. These are really perhaps one of the best socket-7 chips ever made. Sad to see that they are getting hard to find.

RE:PC Liquidators Has K6-III+ In Stock Again (modified 0 times)
Mine is a V3 and yes I did reflash the BIOS to allow booting from an HDA. If you don't have access to a flash burner contact BadFlash for his services/products. Read all the posts here on making the various modifications to get the lower vcore, change the current limit resistor, and enhance the cooling. No one has been able to duplicate my 500MHz speed yet (450 is tops reported by others). As soon as codeman ships me my I-Mod3 kits I will start modifying two or three more to see if it can be repeated. I have had mine up to 550MHz but it soon starts to get various windows errors. But at 500MHz it is rock solid and has survived six take off/lands while in the overhead compartment, run for hours in a car while ploting my route with a GPS unit and run outdoors in 95+ tempuratures.
