This makes me wonder (please note - I am NOT advocating this, I don't want
to do it - it's just curiosity), has anyone here tried "overclocking" any
PICs?  How did it go?  What speeds did you achieve?

Again - just to be really clear before I'm jumped on, I'd never suggest
doing it in any application you want reliability from - and that includes
hobbies.  I'm just wondering how much "safety factor" is in the specs, in
practice.
