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.
