    Question PIC overclocking

    I hate to run a PIC off specs,
    so do I hate having to ask this,
    but. . .

    does anyone have any experience with running a PIC at clockspeeds higher than specified in the datasheet?

    The reason I'm asking is:
    on one of my projects I have got to run the PIC (16F628) at 8 MHz

    I can get the 4MHz versions at about half the price of the 20MHz versions.

    If the PCB was designed for the DIP Version, and the PICs were easy to replace
    I would just give it a try, but with SOIC... ?

    Regards

    Ralph
