According to Burton Sampley:

Yes.

Funny you're asking, I happen to have:

- an ASUS T2P4 rev. 3.1
- two ASUS SCSI cards, one SC-200 (narrow) and one SC-875 (ultra-wide)
- one K6-166

I'm running all these (with the addition of a Matrox Millenium) at
2.5x 83 MHz = 208 MHz which all cards seem to support very well.

Compared to an SC-875, I don't think so. YMMV.
