… in 1998 I got a Celeron 300A (300MHz) & overclocked it to like 460 450 MHz and it was faster than Pentiums for years. I can’t remember, but prob 32MB of RAM.
And ofc my beloved Voodoo 2 (12MB), later in SLI config.
This wasn’t a pre-built so it was cheaper & way faster than prebuilts at the time.

450mhz
You are right, the stock fsb was 66MHz (like AGP & PCI at the time), and 100MHz × 4.5 (internal multiplayer) = 450MHz.
Iirc you could overvolt it by masking a pin, or as was the style at the time, paint the pin with with nail varnish.
