Actually, K6's are rated to 70C, except the 400 which is rated 60C, 
and the 450 which is a different internal voltage and rated 65C.
I just looked at the specs before attempting an overclock.  ]

That kernel oops posted previously looks a lot like the ones I was 
getting when I overclocked my K6-2/266 to 350.  The poor thing just
wasn't getting it.... I backed it to 300 and everything is <ahem> cool
now.  I don't know if tweaking the BIOS might help or not, but heat
isn't an issue; the box runs at a relatively cool 40C (104F).  
If the chip isn't O/C'ed, yanking RAMsticks is probably the next
best choice.
