 I'm presently running a Cyrix 5X86-100 clocked at 120mhz. Quite simply, 
I set up the motherboard for a 120mhz cpu instead of the 100mhz the CPU 
is rated for. It's that simple. I can't give you the exact details, as 
each motherboard is different.
 I have a Triton III pentium motherboard coming, and a Cyrix 6X86 P-90 
coming for it. I may just try setting it for 100 or even 120 to see if it 
will work or not. Sometimes these speedup tricks may not work, as there 
is always some variation in the top speed the CPU is capable of, and what 
the maximum stable speed is.
 Note, if it crashes all the time, try a lower speed till you find one 
where the CPU runs stable all the time. If it's not stable, the extra 
speed isn't worth the headaches... <G> ...
