     The real P6, the Pentium Pro. AFAIK they were only available in 150,
180 and 200MHz versions. They ran 32bit code great but their 16bit code
speed is terrible compared to normal Pentiums. VERY short-lived since Intel
couldn't get the ondie L2 cache working at the speeds it was supposed to.
Ahead of it's time. TTYL
