Hello All,
I have also been trying to overclock a Cyrix PR200 which my motherboard
(a P5V580-B with 580VPX chipset) will let me use 2 x 75mhz or 2½ x
66mhz. The problem comes when I try to run it at 2½ x 75mhz, The system
reports it as a Cyrix PR233 and boots OK and works in DOS mode but
Windows (95) won't load. It just freezes at the splash screen. I have
tried re-installing W95 but same problem persists.
By the way, I can't find a manual for my motherboard, which makes
changing jumper setting a real pain
Any suggestions ?

you cannot overclock Cyrix CPUS with any success...Also, they do not
allow
.5 settings...they are either 2x or 3x....
