Chances are you'd need a new mb for a K6-2, too, unless you just happen to have
a 100 MHz FSB and 2.2V core voltage option on your old board (mine has the 2.2V 
option, but only a 75MHz FSB).  On the question of price, pricewatch.com 
shows the cheapest PII/350 at $362, and the cheapest K6-2/350 at $237.  A 
PII/300 is going for $230, while a K6-2/300 is going for $115.  This assumes, 
of course, that you're comfortable with buying the OEM version of the K6-2.  
Motherboard prices are not included.
