AMD K6 2 550

"The AMD K6 2 550 type Model D is a Socket 7 Processor operating at 550Mhz, has a Front Side Bus speed of 100Mhz and 128K L2 Cache. The AMD K6 2 550 supports MMX and 3DNow!."

"So is the AMD K6 2 550mhz a worthy upgrade or should I get a AMD Duron? If you mostly use old games or 2D applications then I see no need to upgrade to a Duron. if you can obtain a cheap K6 3 then it will make an excellent upgrade. If however you want to play the latest games or watch DVD movies then the K6 series of processors is no longer powerful enough and I recommend you get a Duron. It will give you excellent gaming performance and you can pick up an AMD Duron 750mhz for £40 which is an amazing price to pay for such a powerful cpu. AMD had a winner with the K6 2 and they have done it again with the Duron."
