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.
