You should do this only in case you want to burn in your new
cpu somewhat harder. Actually, the 486DX2-66 runs on an external
33 MHz clock and doubles it internally. In your 50 MHz board, it
will be fed with 50 MHz - with the nice effect of doubling the
clock to 100 MHz - which even Intel isn't expected to achieve
before mid next year. Very fast, indeed, but not long enough 
to earn money with ;-)
