All ICs where you like to rise the clockspeed - if you just
change the multipier its just the CPU. An atempt to increas
the bus speed by more than 30 % is quite rare this day - especialy
with standard components (i.e. going from 100MHz to 133 MHz).
So if you don't push anything special, just go ahead. If looking
at actual PCs, the graphic cards may be a good second target,
especialy since most of the newer chips (TNT/TNT2/gForce/V3/G400)
allow to change the clockspeed (seperate for GPU and VRAM) by software.
(This is also a good area to revitalize an old socket 7 cooler
design - one has to do a new for a PII or K7 anyway :)

Gruss
