Hmm, from what I found out until now my clock board is 100MHz safe, but my
I/O board and my CPU board are not. Seems I have to replace the CPU board
simply because of the cache issue so I can get a 100MHz one, so I need a
100MHz CPU board and a 100MHz I/O+ Board. Do You have an idea how much I
should pay for such boards in Europe?

But then, even at 336MHz the CPU's are much better than the 167MHz USI I
have currently...
