If your board can accept one, a DX2-66 performs better than a DX50. The
DX2-66 only has a 33MHz clock, but if the motherboard has VLB slots, a
33MHz bus is a must, since anything faster causes timing problems. (A
40MHz bus can be made to work, but it isn't fun...) If the board has an
oscillator can or speed selection jumpers, it should be easy to use a
DX2-66 instead of a DX50.
