Get your motherboard manual.

Find the bit which says something like:
`If your CPU is a Cyrix P166, jumpers x, y, and z should be
closed, jumpers p, q, and r should be open.
If your CPU is a Cyrix P200, jumpers p, q, and r should be
closed, jumpers x, y, and z should be open.'

PS:
I don't recomend doing this myself, unless you're happy for the CPU
to blow up. I do it for an old 486, but I don't do it for my nice, new
Pentium.

Until I buy a nicer, newer, Alpha of course ;)
