I am under the impression that the "P24T" is more like a Pentium "SX".

I know Intel is making specs on the P24T, or at least specs on a socket
that will accept the chip, available to just about anyone.

I was thinking that the P24T will be a 33mhz chip, maybe 50mhz too, but
anyways...a 33mhz chip, running internally at 66mhz.  

Basically, I am thinking the P24T is just a slower version of the Pentium
which I have read will be first released in true 66mhz & 100mhz speeds.
