I have a P133 with a 'mb-8500tvx' board. I'm really low on cash right now and I'd like to save for a p3 anyway so I was looking to get a cheap cpu...
My board supports 66bus, 3x multiplier and dual voltage. I am wondering if this is enuf to support a P200MMX... It is designed to support P200 but what are the differences with MMX? If not I'll just pickup a p200 for $20.
Thanx,
Inf

first off i would get a P166MMX these little things of wonder OC really well

i have mine running @ 266mhz with no special cooling or voltage increase

did i mention that its cheaper than a 200mmx
the intel430vx chipset should support these CPUs

some off them even support the AMD K6
who made this mobo ? ?

If your motherboard is capable of running the split voltage necessary for an MMX chip I would recommend the clasic Pentium 233 - you should be able to run it at 233mhz by setting the multiplier to 1.5x (it acts as a 3.5x multiplier) -if not you can always run it at 3x for 200mhz
