There is also an OEM version which has identical pinout to the DX, but may be hard to find on the open market. As for other issues... the DX2/66 uses a 33MHz clock and the DX50 uses a 50MHz clock. These frequencies are so far apart that it is unwise to replace crystals since the chipset and clock filtering components (for FCC/VDE) may not be able to take the change well. -- | Tom Barrett (TDBear), Sr. Engineer | tom.barrett@amd.com | AMD PCD / Austin, TX 78741 | v:512-462-6856 / f:512-462-5155 | "No is Yes, and We are All FREE!" | CO made a #2 no-no...
