I have a 386SX with a Deico motherboard running at 16/20Mhz.  The CPU chip
is rated for 16Mhz, but I have never had any problems with 20Mhz operation,
so I usually leave it on "Turbo". 

We used to run Tandy Color Computers with 1 or 1.5Mhz Motorola 6809's at
1.5 or 2Mhz.. no problems.  (Some of the 1Mhz machines couldn't handle it,
but they were _really_ old..)  As a percentage, that's a much higher speed
jump than 16-20Mhz.  'Course, Motorola, IMHO, makes much better stuff than I
Intel..
