I had built myself and others Cyrix based computers for a while. Then Intel got the Celeron out and that was very overclockable because they were using the same process and basically the CPUs were quasi-Pentiums labelled as Celerons and sold underclocked and cheaper. I have built a ton of computers equipped with Celeron 366MHz overclocked to 500 MHz, for me and all my friends. Not all Celerons would support 500 MHz and operate stable for long but they would at least achieve 433 MHz
Those were exciting times :)))
