There are versions of the 680 that support MMX which have dual voltage
regulators and a different BIOS. There are also earlier versions that do not,
usually fitted with 133-200Mhz Pentium Classics when they were high end
processors. Dead giveaway in this case is the S3 video chipset.

I know for almost certain the 682 (S3 Trio64), 683 (S3 Virge 325) and 685
supported MMX. I not sure about earlier sub-models/revisions.
