Well, it is not good to state something as a global truth when it doesn't
have to be one.

My K6/200 (and yes, it is the old 0.35 um version), runs on 225 MHz very
well and very stable. 225 MHz is 3 * 75 MHz, which, most people would agree
on, is more than 66 MHz. I must admit that I have a good big heat sink on
it, and that I'm running it on 3.2 V instead on 2.9 V.
