- Probably not. The 6888x FPUs seem to be a lot more sensitive to overclocking
- than the 680x0 CPUs, and are very likely to blow if you attempt such a thing.
- Motorola performs rigorous tests on these chips to establish the maximum
- clock rate - do you think they would rate a chip at 33MHz if they knew that
- they could sell it for substantially more as a 50MHz part and get away with
- it?

- You can risk it if you want, of course, but "don't say I didn't warn you".
