Jonathan,

Your customers are the corporations, the banks, the airliners, whose concern is not just performance, but also reliability.

Overclocking or running at higher voltage is for hobbyists. I would not suggest it to corporations.

This should give you a clue as why purchasers in corporation won't buy any Cyrix CPU PCs if they want keep their jobs.

It's not reliability of alternative CPUs that keeps corporate buyers "loyal" to Intel. It is Intel marketing and the fact that it is not their own money they are spending.

What are the chances that your CPU (Intel, AMD, Cyrix, PowerPC or whatever) if run within specs, will fail before other components or before it becomes obsolete?

Joe
