WinModems are optimized for Windows...  :P  
My understanding is that they have more cache or something like that.
The Intel page claims that they have Dynamic Execution features over the
standard P5. (Incidently, they do call the PPro "P6", which would make the
Pentium II a P7 or 786, if you follow their numbering...<shrug>)  

The PII has the Dynamic Execution, and add 100Mhz bus and Dual Independant
Bus archetecture.

Or at least that's what the pages say.  Personally, I still believe is
is all done by magic smoke.
