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+.
