[QUOTE="RustySpoons, post: 1047225, member: 412012"] Amazing work there, i'm lost for words :) Ah memories! I had a Cyrix 486SLC in a 386 Motherboard at one point in the early 90s with a 20Mb Seagate HDD. 1mb or 2mb of ram on 30 Pin Simms. My uncle works for a large semiconductor company and used to send me boxes of CPU's with no markings, was pot luck what they ran at, 3.3v or 5v was trail and error, early overclocking if you will. Then the Pentium architecture came out and he sent me some more chips, the P60/P90 was out then a cheaper P75 came out, so I got the board that took the P75 and fitted one of these chips, I for a few days/weeks/months had the fastest if not one of the fastest PC's at home. One of the chips was 166MHz and they did not exist back then, these were not even engineering samples, they were prototypes. I took the PC in to a local computer shop as they did not believe me, the whole shop looked in awe as it booted up @166MHz :) [/QUOTE]
