On balance, I'd go with the slower-clocked, newer CPU. Much would depend on
how big a jump is represented by K6-2 to K6-III. If it's anything like the
difference between Pentium and Pentium Pro, I'd go for a marginally slower
PPro given a choice.
If you are doing any kind of video work, you are going to be loading your
CPU up, but I think that the ability of the CPU to effectively pipeline,
predict, cache, etc. will do more for you than clock speed.
