I wish to know, what would be the differences between Pentium II
350MHz, and the Pentium 300, and 400MHz on a motherboard base on
the 440BX.
If I understand correctly the motherboard's clock is 100MHz, so while on
the 300/400MHz CPU the clocks of the mobo and the CPU coincide at
a frequency of 100MHz, with a 350MHz CPU, they will coincide only
once per two mobo clocks, i.e. at a frequency of 50MHz.

Am I correct?
Does it mean that 350MHz might be for some application slower or even
much slower than 300MHz? If yes, then what type of application will
prefer 300Mhz over 350MHz, and how important is the jump from
350MHz to 400MHz?

Thanks,

Uzi
