Anandtech has a nice cheatsheet that summarizes the specifications on
processors ranging from the Pentium II on up.

As you can see, the Pentium II started out with a 233 MHz processor that
required a motherboard with a slot 1 "socket".

The Pentium MMX 166 is a Pentium, not a Pentium II.

Can someone on this list please tell me what the Beginning Specs for a
Pentium 2 pc is?   Is a Pentium MMX with a 166Mhz cpu considered a
P2??  Also it only has 32Kb of ram.
