I want to upgrade my CPU from a Cyrix P150+ (which runs at 120MHz).  The
fastest processor that my motherboard manual has settings for is a Pentium
200.  If I managed to obtain a 233 or MMX, would I be able to use them?
(I've never heard of "underclocking"a CPU, but it should be possible?)

TIA,

Neil
