20% cheaper than intel mmx cpu.
all intel mmx run at 2.8v core while K6 200 run at 2.9v and 233 run at
3.2v. make sure the motherboard will support it.
performance is more and less similar with intel mmx and slower than pII,
though AMD said K6 performance comparable with PII, in reality, it is
not.
