By 66mhz, thats what Intel rates them at...I'm runnin my 366 at 75mhz
(412.5mhz)...but they're only designed for 66mhz. Plus, you cant OC the
Socket370 chips the same as with the older 300/300a and most of the Slot1
chips. The Socket370 CPUs dont have clock multiplier options, only bus
speed options.
But as for Micro-ATX, Shuttle makes several Socket370 440BX boards in
Micro-ATX, and FIC sells a LX based Micro-ATX board (never used a FIC board
w/ a Pentium, however, only AMD). But, I'm willing to guess most board
manufacturers sell MicroATX boards for the Socket370...and if not, and you
really like the board, and it's a P2/P3 board, you can always get a
Socket370 to Slot1 converter card ("slocket")
