This problem has existed since boards alowed you to change the clock for
the processor.
If the CPU you bought was a P133 then running it at 166mhz would make it
boot on some boards and not others only trying this on the individual board
will tell you. Now if you do run the 133 at 166mhz you will most likely
(very likely) find the system will hang and act crazy consistantly until
you pull it back to 133mhz. 	 If INTEL were able to run the CPU's they ship
as 133mhz as 166mhz don't you think that they would market them at 166mhz
considering the extra cash reuqiured for the later purchase.

Good Luck
