Note that today you can but a 387-40 for just over a hundred
dollars. It'll be awhile before Intel will drop its Overdrive
chips to that... 8-)

Note that the chip that goes into the SX isn't the regular DX/2.
It is a special 487SX compatible pinout chip that Intel wants 
to charge big bucks for. And since its internal clock is at 50
MHz, I doubt it will run cool at all.

Pay the extra few hundred $$$ and get a real 486DX/2!
