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, -- Roger P166MMX @2.5x100MHz on a FIC VA-503+
