These is/was pretty common back then. Per M$ knowledgebase about all you can do is to visually inspect the cpu.

Welcome to TechIMO!!

Run Belarc Advisor and see what it reports your CPU.

You need to set the mainboard's jumpers to the right bus frequency and multiplier. Pentium-166 is supposed to run at 66 MHz, 2.5x.
