TO ALL TECHIES

I have a question about 166MMX pentium chips.

Is it true that you can overclock a 166 to 200MHZ, 233MHZ and 250MHZ without any damage to the chip and the stability and reliability is the same????

Also I understand that the 166MHZ, 200MHZ and 233MHZ chips are all the same but just stamped differently.

I read on Toms hardware website that INTEL has modified 166MHZ chips to prevent overclocking.

Thanks to all experts that can provide info
