Hey there!
The Super Socket 7 is considered extremely versatile, also because you can change the CPU speed to various ranges and disable the cache to make it even slower.
In addition it got ISA slots which also keep DOS builds compatible. With that versatility SS7 boards can be used for Games released 1990 or before, but even for those released in 1997 and later. But at that point it starts to fall apart (e.g. Unreal from 1998 or Ultima from 1999 not getting enough CPU power, slowing it down, no matter the used graphics card).
I am currently using a K6-II which can switch between 167Mhz (2.5x multiplier 66Mhz Bus Speed) and its usual 500 Mhz (100Mhz Bus Speed and 5x Multiplier). I know that there is also a 550mhz (5.5x 100Mhz).
All the Speeds work with the same voltage.
I am wondering if there are any other CPUs and platforms, maybe Slot 1 or others, which have a higher range. Like is there any 1Ghz CPU which you could in theory also run on 150Mhz by just jumpering or changing some BIOS settings?
Edit: I adjusted the Post and topic to more reflect what I was aiming for.
