I don't know what -2 means at K6-2.

Quote from the howto:
     Many CPUs are prone to faulty setups of

  ·  memory cache setting (write-back is wrong for BogoMips, often
     reported lower than 5; write-through is ok)

  ·  turbo-buttons (should be ON)

  ·  BIOS-software emulated fake cache (change it for real cache)

  ·  similar cache and clock related things.
