I'm looking into a P5 MMX 166 or 200 that I can overclock using a
multiplier of 3 or 3.5 with a 66 Mhz bus. I'd like to know your
processor's S-Spec number if you've successfully been able to use
a multiplier of 3 or 3.5 with a 166MMX or 3.5 with a 200MMX. Also
if there are some specific S-Spec numbers to avoid I'd like to know
that too! From Tom's Hardware page it appears that SY037 processors
have been overclock protected; please correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks in advance,

I have a P166MMX S-spec SL27K (ceramic) that has the 3.5 multiplier. It
runs stable up to 233 MHz with standard 2.8 volts. Even higher when I
upper the core voltage. I've read that also the SL27H's with plastic pin
grid array have 3.5 and are even more overclockable.
