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.
