The k6-2 identifies itself as an original pentium (although it has 
performance around that of an early pentium II) - presumably because of 
its instruction support... it's debatable whether it's better than a Pro.

It's generally not worth supporting a machine that old (7 years old 
now)... you might be able to get it working but there have been 
compatibility issues reported in the past.

I'm surprised you got XP running on it TBH... often motherboards of the 
day couldn't address more than 64mb without taking a huge performance 
hit (which wasn't great to start with), and they couldn't address large 
hard drives.
