I dont think so. The limiting factor with K6's is the bandwith from
the prozessor/RAM to the graphics card, not the cpu.
I used a K6-II 350 with an asus P5A board and got bandwithrates
of about 15 to 20MB/s to a G200 AGP. Now i have a PII 400 and get
rates over 70MB/s. Before i couldnt watch anything above 500x250
(framedrop over 50%) now I can watch full res dvdrips with less than
10% framedrop.

PS: Never overclock a K6, it'll die within weeks
