Hi,
....but the 8088/86 was available as high as 20mhz
IIRC,
or possibly even a bit higher....
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.
