You cannot overclock the AMD on chipset IDE or the intel on chipset IDE.
It doesn't actually matter what you do the system is going to be way out
of wack. These are chipset bridges rather than card people ram into
weird bits of hardware.

The VIA stuff and the Promise it makes some sense to try because they
may be shoved in boxes with a 25MHz PCI clock, or in a few cases a
horribly broke 37.5/41Mhz bus from the early chipsets that had 'idiot
only' 75/83Mhz FSB options
