Hey now, if he gets to use a PPC 601 upgrade then the other guy gets to drop in 
a PODPV563 or PODP5V83 aka Pentium OverDrive 63 or 83 Mhz, assuming the CPU 
socket has the extra ring of holes for it.

Intel promised the POD for a long time, delayed and delayed, nearly got fined 
by the Federal Trade Commission for not producing it, then released it in a 
pair of rather limpy, obsolete versions that were rather slow compared to 
anything else new on the market. Same deal with the Pentium Overdrive for 
Pentium Pro and how Intel hobbled it to only working as single or dual, 
ensuring it wouldn't be used in quad or higher P-Pro systems.
