I did a little searching and it seems that 450 MHz was the fastest
official retail version.
Some 475 and 500 MHz samples were given to major manufacturers. So if
the 550
is genuine, not many people would have one?

I had a few of those, they all ran reliable at 600 but were labeled K6-3+
450. I have a dead one that I put to much v too when swapping with a K6-2
450. I sold a sys to local ace store 5 years ago, its still running at 500
mhz. He would probably sell it in someone wants it.
