I went to a computer show today, and 1.2 and 1.33/266 chips were available, but kinda expensive compared to pricewatch ($235 and up for 1.33). Even 1GHz/266 TBirds went for $165. There was only one vendor offering TBirds 1GHz/200 for $144. Well I checked it out, and it was the famed AXIA and a Y in the second line. Even though I am quite happy with my AVHA 1.1 TBird (1.42GHz) I thought, that there may be some room for another system upgrade, and The idea of possibly braking the 1.5GHz barrier excited me.
Long story short the chip never saw 100MHz. Booted right up at 10x133 at default voltage and actually did 1.400 at 1.7V. Then pushing it all the way to 1.97 (max of KK266 board in 1.85 manual setting) it finally pooped out at 1560.
I backed it of to 9.5x161 which is the highest fsb my Crucial will support in CAS2, and it does the associated 1.53GHz with 1.91V.
This is all with Leufkens watercooler kit, with good air I would think that this chip would be good for at least 1470, which seems to be quite typical.
Yes another interesting thing is that I broke $100/GHz, since the chip was $152.50 incl tax :)
