The PPro Overdrive will run with the motherboard set to 200MHz as currently, but will run at 333MHz (I.E. it ignores the 3x multiplier your m/b is set to and runs 5x instead - if I understand correctly!) The also cache runs at core speed as per the PPro (rather than 1/2 core on standard P-II). Also 16 bit code is much better optimised (but then you probably aren't running any!) The analogy his is to think of this CPU as as a Xeon running at 5x66MHz rather than 4x100 or 4.5x100.
