- You should do this only in case you want to burn in your new
- cpu somewhat harder. Actually, the 486DX2-66 runs on an external
- 33 MHz clock and doubles it internally. In your 50 MHz board, it
- will be fed with 50 MHz - with the nice effect of doubling the
- clock to 100 MHz - which even Intel isn't expected to achieve
- before mid next year. Very fast, indeed, but not long enough
- to earn money with ;-)
