You cant ever say the specific amount by which a chip
can be overclocked to, it all depends on the chip.
The way I prefer to overclock my boards is to firstly
remove the TTL oscilator crystal and replace it with a
DIL socket, then get a selection of crystals of
increacing value i.e. 55mhz, 60mhz and so on, and try
them untill your computer becomes unstable then home
in on the best frequency! (you can get the crystals
pretty cheep from Radio Spares Ltd.
