Processor upgrades
Intel 487SX math coprocessor
Intel P23T-50 486 overdrive processor (50 MHz)
Intel P24T-63 Pentium overdrive processor (63 MHz) with BIOS version 68 or later

The 50 MHz oscillator can be changed to 66 MHz which supports the Intel P23T-66 486 overdrive processor (66 MHz) and Intel P24T-83 Pentium overdrive processor (83 MHz) with the BIOS version 68 or later.

The 66 MHz oscillator is only available from DIGI-KEY
Phone Number: (800) 344-4539
Part Number: CTX-178

Before installing the Intel Pentium overdrive processor you must first update the BIOS to 68 or later. Next power off the system and make sure the processor jumpers are in the OD position (For type 1 system boards, J10 and J11, and for type 2 system boards, J17 and J18, which are located next to the processor). For both type 1 and 2 system boards the OD position is towards the rear of the system board. Now you can install your Pentium overdrive processor.
