The top speed is not 6 mhz.  That is what ti put it at so it doesn't blow 
up or smoke.  When you turbo it, the c9 capacitor is taken out, which 
allows the processor to be run at a faster speed (18-20 i think), you 
could probably run it even faster somehow, but your calc would probably 
melt because of the heat. :( That's not what TI had in mind.
