Are you sure it's a K6-3 at 550Mhz? IIRC, AMD's fastest K6-3 was 450Mhz. The K6-3 has 256KB on die L2 cache. The K6-2 has no on die L2. The K6-2 was made at higher frequencies than the K6-3, but was painfully slow due to L2 cache being on the mobo, not the CPU.
If it's a K6-2 550, your performance will be ~30% lower than a P3 550.
