I've built a computer with a Cyrix 686-100MHz and running W95 with almost 
exclusively 32bit programs and it's great!  No compatibility problems and 
I've even overclocked it to 110MHz and 120MHz with no apparent problems.
Apparently they are supposed to run hot but it's cool to touch even after 
running for several hours and at the higher settings.  I'm running at 100MHz 
as I figure this was the design setting and should ensure max. life.

... It works! Now, if only I could remember what I did.
