I am about to buy a new system. I have offers for a AMD K6 System, but I remember some troubles with either K5 or K6 CPU's. (discussed on one of the SuSE lists) Some applications crashed, the solution was to compile the Kernel either as a 386 or 486.
The AMD K6 B-stepping with a date code of 9730 or earlier had some bugs that affect Linux. Later K6 chips (I have a 9732 B-stepping, current ones are at least at C-stepping) are just fine, and are also quite fast running Linux.
