i think there are adaptors around for decreasing the 5v to 3v for the
power supply and the amd chips are working with 5v logic too if i
remeber right

something to my last mail - if you (the original sender) ment the
pentium overdrive with "the 83 mhz pentium" - then i would recommend
you the amd dx4 instead of the pentium
