This is a BAAAAAD idea. Why do you think Clock-doubled
chips exist? Because the system doesn't run well at an
extrememly high mhz state, so they make the 2/66 that
appears to be a 33mhz as far as peripherals, etc. are
concerned. 40mhz machines I wouldn't trust.. you might
buy a card someday that might not work w/it. 50mhz,
non-clock-doubled, I wouldn't touch it.
