uh..no.
188MHz is usually 75MHz x 2.5 multiplier.
Pentium MMX processors and the chips around them expect a 66MHz bus.
SO..you are underclocking the core clock speed, but overclocking your
RAM, and overclocking the frontside of your processor. That's basically
the worst of both worlds -- the risks of overclocking, and none of the
benefit.
