Stew, You could certainly install the faster chip, but it won't run any faster than the clock speed of the board. You would have to change the oscillator module to run at the faster clock speed, but other chips on the board might not be spec'd fast enought to run at the higher speed. Unless you want to risk problems, you would be advised to stick with the board's current clock and save the money by buying the slower cpu and fpu chips, unless you can only find them at 50 Mhz. The faster chip will work, but not at any faster speed than the clock.
