I just bought a used NEC AT-compatible.
It has 80286-8MHz.
When I opened it, it looked like all memory (ROM and RAM) are 
for 12 MHz. So I wonder if I can just change the CPU and clock to 12 MHz to
get better speed with cheap price.
Has anyone ever done that ?

There are several x-tals in the mother board (the motherboard has serial and
parallel port), but the one that close to CPU is 24 MHz.
Anyone know about clock divider by 3 ?

If anyone know those stuff, please reply to me.

Thanks for any response.
