Jeff,
The CPU speed will traditionally (i.e. 386 & 486) be controlled by the
crystal on the motherboard. The CPU will follow. If you have a
motherboard that supports multiple processors of these types, it will
run the processors at the same speed whatever you do. OTOH, 386 and 486
are physically different. You probably won't find a motherboard that
will do this. Don't even know if there were any motherboards that could
keep multiple 386s, being the same processors. I'm not even sure about
the 486s.
'Modern' processors are somewhat blocked. They have a multiplier built
in so that they will always execute at a multiple of the bus speed.
Overclocking of these processors is done by changing the bus speed. I
guess that in theory you could run a PIII550 and a PIII500 in the same
PC, but I haven't tried it. I wouldn't be surprised if it failed,
though.
Best regards
Gustav
