Again I would like to thank all of you that responded. For the record, I
now have the Intel MMX 266 running on my Gigabyte GA 586 TX3, but as it
so old (about 18 months!), Switch 8 appears to be inoperative, ie
maximum multiplier 3.5 despite the manual saying 5, and permanently set
OFF, so the maximum speed is 233. The chip is happily running at this
speed. 
The chip was given to me so the increase from 133 is fantastic!
