Do the cards misbehave at 12MHz or 8MHz? The first edition of original AT had the ISA bus (still called "AT bus" at that time) running at 6MHz. Memory cards designed for a 6MHz bus are quite likely to misbehave at a "100% overclock" of 12.5MHz. At 8MHz, those cards should all work, given correct configuration. But the performance will be meh, still better than swapping, though.
