Hi Neo,

Just remember, it is not wise to over-clock a processor.  Most processors become unstable and untrustworthy when they are over-clocked.  I recommend to anyone needing a faster processor to BUY a faster processor.  Processors should only be run at their rated speed.  The hotter a 68040 gets the slower it runs, so one of the secrets to gaining speed is keeping the heat down.  Neo, just make sure that there is a heatsink and a good quality fan mounted onto the 68040 and it should give you years of troublefree service.  Also, the MC version of the 68040 runs cooler and a little faster then the XC version.     :-P
