You may have read too much into my comment. Your results are certainly of interest for benchmarking and charting purposes, which for some people, is all they care about. Other members are interested in building both a fast and solid system. I am interested in both, but ultimately, I like my systems to be stable and give most credit to benchmarks for stable systems. The AMD X5-200 charted in the Ultimate 486 Benchmark Comparison was surprisingly stable.
I only have an AMD X5-200 benched at 50x4. Your 3x66 and 3x60 systems have surprisingly fast memory throughput. For charting purposes, I would need to have the results from all the programs listed on the Ultimate 486 Benchmark Comparison to add your values to the chart. It sounds like you may be able to do this at 3x60 and I would be interested to see the results. It also sounds like you may be able to get a system stable at 60x3 and may be something you want to pursue. Could you also show the Cachechk -v7 results? cachechk.exe -d -t4 would be sufficient.
Your Speedsys averaged memory throughput is as fast as my L2 cache throughput at 2x66, making your system not really need L2 cache. This is why it would be of interest to demonstrate your system stable at 3x60.
Plan your life wisely, you'll be dead before you know it.
