I have an AMD K6-2 333Mhz

and I also have a Intel Pentium 233Mhz w/MMX

Which is better? These are rather old so trying to find a review is somewhat hard

The machines purpose is for Music (vorbis) playback and watching TV using hte freevo project (http://freevo.sf.net)

Any input would be great. Im trulely lost on this. I remember peopel saying K6-2's were THE THING but I also remember saying the K6-2 line was terrible.

k6-2s arent very good but in this case i'd vote for it. the original pentium is just downright old. k6-2s were meant to compete with celerons and especially with the 66 mhz clock advantage i dont think the pentium would keep up.

I agree. Been researching all night

The K6-2 is an old processor, but for a lot of things they work great. In this particular case, you might consider checking to see if the motherboard can have it's processor clock divisor increased (which would allow you to upgrade to a 550MHz processor for $30 to $50). I was able to do that and I figure I've given this beastie another year or so of utility (my kids play games on it mostly and it gets used for browsing).

My guess is that with a decent video card, your performance would be fine even at the 333MHz speed--hard to know how much a 30% speed increase of the processor clock would help, but I thought you might be interested to hear that it can work.

Best of luck with it,

John
