i have a question, why does my cyrix 486DX2/66(over clocked to 80mhz) act so much like a pentium? i mean i had a 486dx2/88mhz, and it never ran at the speeds this one does. I mean doom compilers run very fast, like a pentium class CPU at 60-120mhz! Quake also ran extreamly well for being on a 486. So i must ask, is this chip really just a defunct cyrix pentium/486 hybrid. I have heard of companies like cyrix cloneing early pentiums and selling them as 486's to get money, and to say they had better 486 chips

The title of this thread was very misleading. I thought you were pissed at somebody :)

hmm... i remember quake being extremely sluggish on my 486/66. my friend with a low end pentium (133 i believe) could play it at full speed.

In the old days the chip makers did sometimes sell faster chips at a lower rating. They were supposed to be at least as good as the chips they were sold as. You might have gotten a 75 or 90 Mhz chip sold as a 66Mhz. They did use that tactic to sell out their last chips as the new ones came out. In other words a 90 that would only do 80 might be sold as a 66 or a 75 for example.

I bought a 133 that all the tests said was running at 150 in those days. I never did mind the free extra power.
