Well, you need to replace the two legged chrystal. It is a good idea to
use a heat sink and fan.  Heat is the primary cause of failure on most
electronic components.  On a 3/60 near the memory jumpers there is 4 big
soldered holes that One could draw power for the CPU fan.  It might even
be a good idea to drill some holes on the cover case for better venhilation.
If properly heat sinked a 3/60 should be able to go 60 MHZ.

Happy Hacking.....
