I believe it went something like this as far as the "generations" of
pentium chips:

60/66
90/100
120/133

I cannot remember whether the 75 was a slower 120/133 or a 90/100. If I
remember correctly the 60/66 had a different socket (socket 4 or 5 I
believe) than the rest of the Pentiums.

I could be wrong, but as far as the 133 I know it and the 120 were
basically the same and were reported by Linux as 75+.
