You'll note, if you inspect the datasheet, that Microchip hasn't listed
any values for oscillators (crystal or resonator) above 20MHz, the
closest they get is listing a 25MHz crystal in the capacitor value table
with valuse of "TBD" as in the capacitor column

I seem to remember that if you wanted to run the chip above 20MHz you
had to use a lower oscillator value and use the PLL to multiply it by 4.

However, you can probably get it going faster if you try a few different
capacitors, and perhaps use a resistor in series.  Check the archives
for crystal problems.
