You can't just put another chip in, because the P60 ran at 5v, while
the P75 etc. run at 3.3v. 

The overdrive is basically a processor sitting on top of a voltage
converter, so you can use that (making sure of course that you get a
Pentium Overdrive for a Pentium m/board, not for a 486 m/board).

Check out the prices - I think you may find that it is cheaper to buy
a regular Pentium and a newer Pentium motherboard.
