83 works great with my hardware.  I do 83 * 1.5 and it beats out
75 * 1.75 for most of the stuff I do.  
(125 Mhz vs 132 Mhz, the win being on bus speed.)

K5-166, ABIT IT5H, 50ns EDO, symbios 53c810 SCSI, ati mach32 pci.

I had stability probs at 1.75 * 75 until I upped the CPUs voltage
a little bit, to 3.6 from 3.52.  At 3.52 make world dies, 3.6 
works fine.
