*updating* 8088's

Hmm, I don't ever recall seeing an XT running at anything like that sort of 
speed.

Most "Turbo XT" motherboards which I saw topped out at 10MHz, though I have 
a vague recollection of hearing about a manufacturer which produced a 14MHz 
(or possibly even 16MHz) board and then had to quickly withdraw it due to 
MAJOR instability problems.

If you wanted anything faster you generally had to go to a '286 or better.
