Some of the better high speed clones run expansion cards at a lower rate than
the system clock. This prevents the speed incompatibility headaches. Check the
PC Limited line of AT clones at 10 & 12 Mhz (They even have one at 16Mhz but
I am wary of this one as it must use preselected chips at above rated speeds).
