- TP> You can overclock it to 100Mhz if you want but it probably won't work for

- TP> 40Mhz probably wouldn't work(maybe if it were super-cooled). 33 or even
- TP> 35 might.

- Super-cooled? How about a open-cube ( |_| ) made out of 5 heatsinks screwed
- together with a large fan on top? :)

- TP> Now what if you could rig a slider control up so you could set your clock

- TP> indicate the current speed ;-)
-
- Well, could I, for example, get a 33mhz crystal, and flick between these with
- a switch? Actually, I never looked, is the crystal socked I wonder?
-
- Not a bad idea. Hmmmmm. You've got me thinking now. 40mhz here we come!
