Sorry to beat a dead horse, but that's just the mood I'm in these days ;-)

Okay. I was confused by some software that reported the lower numbers.
You're right, I do feel *much* better ;-)

Then the range of numbers is lowered, but the multiplier for any given
clock is still the same (and the max external clock is still 66):

External	CPU
50		150
60		180
66		166 200

(there may also have been some "Pentium Pro Overdrives" later (motherboard
manuals at the time talked about them), but if there were, they weren't
very common).
