	There is a reason that he may succeed where you failed.  The
motorola chip have much, much higher tolerances for this type of
hackery.  If you're lucky and have a big heatsink, you can find
motorola chips that can be overclocked 50% or more.  With intel chips,
I've rarely heard of clock increases of more that 10-15% being
successful.
