For the 266 chip you will need to run it at 66MHz (clock speed) x 4
(=264MHz). To achieve this on the G586TX3 set the switches as follows:

Switch 1 = Off (66MHz clock/On=60MHz clock)

Switch 2 = On \
Switch 3 = Off |   Multiplier = x4
Switch 8 = On /

Switch 4 = Off \
Switch 5 = Off |   Voltage = Auto
Switch 6 = Off |
Switch 7 + On /
