A 200MHz Athlon and a 266MHz Athlon are the same kind of chip. The only difference between the two is that the 266MHz Athlons have lower multipliers to accomodate the higher FSB, so as long as you have one of the good stepping Athlon's (AXIA, AYHJA, and the newer AYHJAR) then you should be able to place that Athlon in a 266MHz motherboard and overclock it.
