yeah, they're really old but i was wondering. i was cleaning up the basement today, and came across an old forgotten computer of mine with a 233 MHz Pentium w/ MMX so for ****s i hooked it up. works fine, so i went to try an overclock just to see how far i could take this P.O.S.
it surprised the hell out of me, i've got it running at 500 MHz right now and it seems very stable. after this fresh copy of XP installs i was going to see if i can squeeze anything else out of it. i set the bus at 100 MHz, 5.0x multiplier, and i upped the vcore from 2.8 to 2.9 and the thing idles at only 43 deg. celcius according to the monitor in the BIOS.
but yeah this thing is currently running at about 2.2 times it's labeled speed rating. obviously it's a piece of ****, but i thought it was interesting that it can go this high (and maybe more). what is the fastest known Pentium 1 out there??
