Jim,

<< What kind of memory are you using? >>

I have 128mb of Micron SIMM memory..60ns EDO and 512 kb cache.

Also I agree with you that the 208 using 83mhz is probably faster than the 233MMX at 66MHZ. The CPU is cool with the standard HS and FAN and actually more stable than the 166 classic I was using before. I suspect it was a remarked 133 anyway.

Toms Hardware has studies that seem to support this

I don't how know some have a hard time believing this is impossible... but if they really knew how well INTEL is making the chips with a very high yield then maybe they can begin to understand. I believe INTEL is just making 233MHZ chips and simply marking them according to the orders for each of 166, 200 and 233.
