It's straight a K6-III 400 as far as I know.  I've never heard of a K6-III+.
I've definitely had problems with heat in the past.  As the temperature in
my apartment went up, so did the spontaneous reboots.  I was able to cure
the problems by putting a Voodoo5 in it, but now I want the Voodoo5 in my
new machine.  I swapped the video cards in the two machines and now the AMD
machine locks up if I use the GUI.  If I don't touch the GUI, it seems
stable enough.  I've been using it to backup files to mostly.

It is AGP.  I have the Asus P5-A motherboard.  I most likely don't have the
latest BIOS.  I have not touched it since buying it 2-3 years ago.
