I'd advise against it... I have problems with an AMD586dx2 80 (5volt) overheating (machine acts strangely). This chip was designed to work at 80. The newer 3v AMD 80's do not exhibit this problem, and cost around $130.00. If you motherboard supports a 3v processor, you might consider the upgrade and sell your existing processor to defray the costs. BTW: the machine that overheats with the AMD 80 has a CPU cooling fan, two case fans, and a power supply fan -- most of the time it work OK, never has a problem at 66... Also, one other thing -- when you run at 80 your bus clock will be 40 -- that can cause problems with some local bus cards if your MB isn't designed to accomodate it. - Roger > Has anyone ever clocked a 486dx2/66 up to 80?
