The FPU of the K6 and even K6-2 are not as good as the Intel FPU. So a
Celeron is faster than a K6-2 at the same clock speed in a rendering
programm like POV. Because the Celeron costs roughly the same as the
K6-2 it offers more computing power per money unit (replace this term by
your currency).

Current benchmarks can be found at http://www.tomshardware.com/
Tom uses 3D Studio MAX to measure FPU power but the results apply to
POV-Ray too.

So, POV-Ray works on AMD without problems but slower than on a Celeron
of the same price.
