Has anyone tried putting a 486 DX50 on a motherboard capable of 60/66 mhz FSB? Were you able to get the CPU to run at those speeds?

Are you just curious to know whether or not it will work? Or are you considering building a machine with that kind of specification?

Considering the DX-50 is a relatively old chip, I wouldn't be 100% sure overclocking it would cause no harm to it. I'd rather overclock an AMD DX-40 as those are more common and the very first one I tried succeeded in posting at 66Mhz.

Edit:I think the very best Socket 3 to FSB overclock is the POD83 as it should work with a 1x multiplier 😉
