I overclocked my dx4/100 to 120Mhz... it seemed to run alright (and fast 
:) but the system halted due to a hardware error ( OS/2 )... 

at the moment i am running it at 100Mhz with a base clock of 50Mhz and at 
the 2X speed.   At this base Mhz it is much faster and stable.  (btw it 
has a VESA bus which seemed to run fine at 50Mhz, there was a wait state 
on the vesa bus)

The fastest i could get the ISA bus up to was 50Mhz/4   any faster and 
the Sound blaster didn't work :(


.t

btw.  the RAM is 60ns, and the Cache SRAM is 20ns.
