Actually, to push this into OT territory, the Pentium didn't get MMX
until it reached 166MHz. Pentiums from sockets 4 & 5, 60MHz onto
166MHz didn't have any extra instruction sets. I believe there were
some non MMX 166MHz ceramic chips produced as well. SSE didn't become
available until the Slot 1 Pentium at 450MHz.
