Well, not really an overclock, but installed as if it is.
My Model 25 PS/2 has a 10MHz V30 installed, but it only seems to be running at 8MHz. This would make sense as the 8086 that was installed before it was 8MHz, and the motherboard only seems to have a crystal for that.
What I want to do: Lift the CLK pin on the V30, solder a 10MHz crystal to it, and then put it in the socket (with the CLK NOT touching the socket)..
This should work, right? I know 2MHz really won't be much, but for a specific task I want it to do, it will..
