     There is only one known difference: builtin L2 in K6-3. On the other
side, `plus' version add support for FSB=100 MHz, PowerNow! technology and
smaller size (0.18 mkm instead 0.25) with lesser voltage and energy
consuming. Also, K6-2+ have L2=128K whereas K6-3+ have L2=256K.

     Read sites which dedicated for this. We have russian iXBT site, there
mentioned PC Pop (www.pcpop.com) and OCWORKBENCH (www.ocworkbench.com).
