I can tell you what hapens when a 486 is inserted the wrong way.... the
magic blue smoke, then it no longer works (M/B and chip). :>
I've also had a Pentium overdrive 83mhz, which ran rather well. It could
even be overclocked (sometimes) to 100mhz if you had a 40mhz bus setting on
your motherboard.
