The BIOS might not say it right at boot time whenever you use IDT Winchip,
but so what if the performance really jumped to that of a Pentium 200.

On 18 machines that I've upgraded overhere, the BIOS might say a 486,
or a Pentium-S or something else, but all of them go to the proper performance.

The motherboard varies from Socket5 vintage (1995) and Socket7.

So, don't be afraid if your BIOS said something else ;)

YMMV and IMHO,
