I have a motherboard with a 50 (not clock doubled) with a 50Mhz memory bus, which I intentionally hot-purchased over spec hardware for to run the EISA bus at 50MHz. It has been working fine for about 3 years now; I'd consider DX2/100 as an upgrade... the DX4/100's run the memory and bus too damn slow for me; IMO, L2 cache is near-worthless on anything with a clock tripler (or worse!) for external bus access.
