  Pretty few.  Unlike the stock P200-MMX, the Evergreen package is
designed to be installed as an upgrade to older systems, and so it
should just "Plug and Play".
  [On a P75 board, I'd expect this CPU to run at 4x50 rather than
3x66, so memory and peripheral operations will still not be as fast
as on a "real" P200 system.  Should be a very noticable improvement,
though.]
