Socket 8 boards take the Intel Pentium Pro processor.

The Pentium Pro was the first 6th generation x86 processor from Intel.
Pentium Pro processors performed on a par with Pentium II processors
of the same speed (**). As far as I know, the fasted retail Pentium
Pro was 200 MHz.

(**) Note: Since the slowest Pentium II is 233 MHz., this statement
      is based on tests run while running (overclocking) the Pentium
      Pro at 233 MHz..
