Mark,

Depends on the chip.. it may not shorten the life of the chip at all.. it depends on how much excess heat is being generated.. I really don't know (because I haven't measured).. there is math to figure it out, but my logic is if you are planning on using the chip for less than 2 years, you probably won't see it die..

Mark,

Update your M537 BIOS with 5370904S.bin at
w7.dj.net.tw

Also get the IDE driver VXPPRO95.exe for Win95.

The 83Mhz bus speed jumper for M537 is
1-2
1-2
2-3

If your MX could run at 66x2.5 well, it should be able to oc to 83x2. The new BIOS will identify the MX-166 @83x2 as MX-PR233.

Have fun!
