The K63 is a .25mu process K6 chip that has 256k of on die L2 cache. The K63+ is a .18mu process k6 mobile chip that has 256k of on die L2 cache. K63 topped out at 450mhz(I think) the K63+ officially tops at 600mhz(again I think). For a SS7 system its a pretty good upgrade if you can find one and it is supported by your motherboard.

I thought the K6-3+ has only 128KB of L2 cache?

I dont know for sure, but just from the info that I have Toms Hardware it says that the K63+ has 256k and that the K62+ has 128k. I don't know what the performance difference would be I refuse to spend anymore money on my K6 system.(Although 256mb ram and a K63+ would make it run a little better) NOOOOOO the Upgrade cycle must END. I think I'm going to therapy to help me stop spending money on my second computer.
