    So, aside from any extra heat dissipated by the overclocking, there
        is a good possibility that something on your CPU doesn't work at
        a higher speed.  Besides, it voids your warranty.  Who cares with
        an old '486, but at $450 a shot for a PII-450, that's a chunk o'
        change to gamble with.
