How does the VIA Apollo Pro266 handle an overclocked system?

I beginning my research if I put in buying plans a dual pentium board. I found this one from Iwill: the DVD266.

The problem I see is if this chipset will handle a Cumine-T or Tualatine system. Any help?
 
I don't know about the 266. I haven't seen anyone overclock this particular board yet.

And about the Coppermine-T and the Tualatin. I don't know either. As far as I know the only chipsets that can support the Coppermine-T is the 440BX, the i815, and possible the i810-20 (but what's the point). And these will only support it if the manufacturer makes the bios upgrade required.

This board won't support a true Tualatin. Pin-out on the Tualatin's are different that the PIII and Coppermine-T.

How about the Apollo 266Pro-u?????

Someone????
 
To be honest with you it's not the chipset that bugs me about this board. It's the whole board.

Maybe I'm just bias, but I won't buy a dual board unless it says Abit or Tyan. MSI tried the dual and blew it, Asus tried it and actually came out with a decent board, I just refuse to support Asus in any way, shape, or form.
 
I have an Iwill board right now.....and I'm very happy with it. The only problem that I would mention about it is that

1.-I just has two speeds over 133 MHz. 140 and 150.
2.-The only Vcore adjustments that you are allowed are +5% and +10%.

Otherwise, I'm very happy with it.

But I don't have any experience with a dual mobo.

Editted
I checked at Iwill site and I've got the following information:
1.-It can go in 1MHz increment up to 200MHz.
2.-Adjustable Vcore.
3.-The voltage to the DRAM can be incresed by 5% and 10%

I would only like to know if this board supports the new CUmine-T?
