Greetings Ken & list--

Unless I miss my guess, I think what Jagpal was looking for was the range of speeds that have been characteristic of Pentium processors as they have evolved.
While I can't be certain I have included all of them, Pentium MHz speeds ranged from (I think) the Pentium 60, 75, 90, followed by 100, 133, 150, 166, 200, 233.
MMX came in there along the way. Pentium IIs (again, I think) began at 233, then, 266, 300, 333, 350, 450, 500. I get much foggier as the mutations increased with the Pentium III and 4, but they climbed as high as 1.3GHz (I think) in the Pentium III iteration, and Pentium 4s are now becoming available with dual core processors. I'm not sure, but I think the MHz speed now peaks at 3.6GHz and processor manufacturers are now moving away from classifying their chips in terms of clock speed. (The better to confuse us, perhaps?)

Much more information may be available at the Intel site, but
I hope this has been of some help.
