Some of the internal bits of the processor are clock doubled, however
the processor itself isn't. It was just a PR stunt to match the 66mhz
486s that were coming on the market.

Nah, they'll do 24 bit. Kind of a pain for me because I'm running Linux
on a Q605 with a dead PRAM battery (Vieuxmac archive), and every time I
reboot it I have to manually reset it to 32 bit addressing and then
reboot again. Linux won't boot in 24 bit.
