The only way I can get Acrobat Reader to display downloaded .pdf files
offline is to find the file in \Windows\Temporary Internet Files, copy
the file to another location and open it from there. 
Goodness knows why!

A good source of information about MMX CPUs is The Pentium Processor
Specification Update, Doc no. 24248041, which I downloaded from:
ftp://download.intel.com/design/pentium/specupdt/24248041.pdf  
It's a .pdf file naturally, ~600KB.
Intel did/does make the Mobile Pentium MMX Processors at 266 and 300MHz
but they appear to use 0.25 Micron construction and lower core voltage -
1.85-2.15v for instance, for reduced heat buildup in laptops perhaps?

I hope the thing works.
Regards,
