| The 166MHz OverDrive chip will work fine, once you set the CPU clock input
jumpers to 66MHz. You can even get an MMX version.

No, Intel makes overdrive versions of pentium upgrades so that
motherboards that don't know about higher-order clock multipliers
can still be upgraded.

| The OverDrive chips are designed to replace P75-P133 chips - they use the
"Socket 5" pin layout and, as Bill said, don't require that the motherboard
have the proper clock multiplier input. Standard chips faster than 133 use
the new "Socket 7" which has different physical and electrical characteristics.
