Many rev A boards are capable of 83 MHz, but I've yet to come across a Rev B board which can be clocked that high and be stable. But that is beside the point. The jumper settings on the board will allow 500 MHz on a 66 MHz bus with no problem.

That isn't the issue, though. The issue is that the later CPU's set their own multiplier independent of the jumpers, don't they? That's the reason I was always given why ZIFs from B&W and Yikes! won't work in the beige G3.
