The 74F161 is only rated at 90MHz over temp (TI) and 120MHz or 100MHz (unclear) 
at 25C and then only as "typical" without any max freq being indicated at all 
in the datasheet (Fairchild).

So thats pretty much a no-go for any commercial product even at 'only' 100MHz..

Again for a one-off it may work, but not for a production unit that has to be 
guaranteed..

For a divide by 10 it would work if there is a 74AC74 type prescaler..

Said
