Mauybe he meant 12? My first experience with hardware hacking was a 8 mhz 
286 clone I used when I was in college. It had a 2x soldered clock crystal 
on the motherboard. I replaced the 16 mhz crystal with a 32 mhz crystal and 
it mostly worked. I needed to replace the 32 with a 24 to get a stable 12mhz 
PC.

It probably shouldn't have worked at all, but I didn't know any better.
