Greg, from experience, you can safely UNDERclock a Cyrix with no
ill effects. Never been seen the need to overclock one, though...
I've underclocked them because of motherboard BIOS problems a few
times, and ran an MII-300 as an MII-266 for 6 months. Works great
as a 300 again, too.
Gonna get me a K6-2 or 3 sometime next year.

Heat is the largest problem, always get a good fan and heatsink.... hey
Edward.....Speacially down here in Summer :-) , remember that servers are
supposed to have a dedicated air conditioned room, I have one in the next
room and have to leave some monitors off in here or I will lock up ;-) I
nearly dont need lights because of the radiant glow from LED's :-)
AMD really love big fans and heatsinks (as long as they are efficient) ,
Cyrix will freak if you get the speed wrong or try overclocking etc, only
Intel seems to be able to overclock.......but I never recommend this unless
you are very familiar with the chips...(I wont say more)..I am going off on
a tangent now....so will stop.....
Happy New Year to All !!!
