VERY interesting!! 
I can't remember exactly how the chip was marked, (it's working so no-
way will I pull it out to just look at it!) it certainly said INTEL MMX
but I DID notice that it did not show a speed. It was a gift, and I was
told it was "a 2nd hand 266". 
The Gigabyte site lists a 266 as OK on this board in a list of
compatible chips, but continue to show 233 as the fastest in their on-
line manual - life is never easy!
