at work we've overclocked our dx2/66 to 80.  we tried running
it at 100 but it didn't work.  we don't have a fan only the
heat sink on it.  i don't like offering real advice on
overclocking, 'cause there's always that chance you fry your
chip, but we haven't had any trouble.  just be sure you keep
the cover on the case, 'cause that helps get the airflow
right.

good luck
