Can't now, or couldn't ever? I used to have a DX4, and did manage to get it to boot at 2*50, but my graphics and scsi cards didn't like that much. I know at least one other person that claims to keep his DX4 running at 2*50. > My 486 DX-50 still beats the snot of of a P5 DX/2-66, and is > more than fast enough (EISA bus overclocked to 50MHz) to handle > a lot of stuff that early P5 machines couldn't. Hmmm ... Never heard of a P5 DX/2-66 ;-)
