Does the MMX make all the difference? even > theough the bogomips are lower, is real-world performance better with the > PPro or the PII? the older pentium MMX chips have always blown away the bogomips calculations. They generally show up as 2x the base clock rate, for reasons I have not looked into. IE a P5/MMX notebook (233mhz) here shows 466 bogomips, while my xeon machine shows 400 per processor. But believe me, the PII/400 will blow the P5/233/mmx right off the motherboard. :) > > If this has recently been covered, my apologies and if someone could just > direct me to a page or report, that would be great.
