Actually, it's been my experience that if he can change the external
clock to 66Mhz, the adapter on that upgrade will override the
multiplier.  He really can get 66MhzX3=200Mhz with those.  The only
gotcha is they use a WinChip processor.  Beats a blank but in the same
board at the same settings I got 25% better results out of an AMD
K6-200, a Multimedia CPU Upgrade adapter, and a fan.  Cost was very
similar.
