According to the June Issue of BYTE, a German company by the name of
I think Rehm has created a widget called the Icecap...essentially, it
forces the processor to run faster by cooling it down.  It has amazing
speed increases, such as a 50Mhz 486 up to 96Mhz and 225Mhz landmark,
whatever that means.  They also mentioned that versions for 68030 and
SPARCs are in the works...
 
Would one of these devices work on a station?  Would it be silly to
consider?  Anyone have any idea what it is actually doing?
