you could possible burn something out. I think something like a 66Mhz oscillator would be more realistic. Even though those CPUs overclock, 40 and 50Mhz will be really pushing it. Especially if it only has a 25Mhz CPU Beginning speed. That's essentiall the same thing as taking a 3.0Ghz XEON and pushing it to 12Ghz. Not going to happen...
I am not talking about overclocking the 25mhz... On old computers like these, to upgrade the CPU you need to change out the oscillator too. I would be running a 40mhz 040 at 40mhz, no overclocking.

I could try to overclock it to 50 though if I wanted to.
