According to the survey on overclocking I found via yahoo...all the 
people who have tried to overclock the dx4-120 (2 or 3 of them) said 
that it just plain didn't work.  At least it didn't kill the chip, 
but I'm not gonna try it on mine - for fear of becoming a statistic.

Otherwise, I guess it would depend on which has the better throughput.
My guess is that Cyrix has worked on that and V's would still go 
better.

Anyone overclocked a 300Mhz Alpha??? :)
