Which runs Linux the best: 200, PRO 200, or MMX 200? Pro 200. If you want to save some money, a Pro 166MHz with a 83MHz bus. Except for pure floating point this will give you overall system performance much better then a Pro 200. If you are really cheap (like me) get a Pro 150 and over clock it to 166MHz. I've never come in contact with anyone who could take their Pro 150 to 166. (Mine went to 180 on a Tyan 1668D Dual) -- Elite MicroComputers 908-541-4214 http://www.psychosis.com/emc/

No but MMX 200 has a larger cache (L1) than the non-MMX, which according to the usual benchmarks I saw in a magazine earlier this month, does help things along quite a bit. But Pro would be better, being 32-bit optimised.
