It might be worth adding to the discussion that it is apparently  
pretty common for the crystal oscillator to be one of the first  
pieces that stops working as clock speeds go up.  IIRC, there are  
even some chips (scenix?) that are spec'ed to run at their top speed  
ONLY when driven by an external oscillator.  So if you're planning to  
try over-clocking a PIC, you might weight your oscillator selection  
toward the external canned oscillators...
