- Yep - no problemo!
-
- I've got an 95 with a 25-SX and I've upgraded it with a OverDrive processor
- that runs 50Mhx internally.
-
- If you've got a 25-DX you should get an 486DX2 chip. You might also
- need a upgraded reference disk that can adjust the processor complex
- to the new CPU.
-
- I higly recommend it, since it's a relatively cheap way to boost
- performance (if you have a SX, the OverDrive also adds a math
- co-processor, which is build-in).
