Re - shouldn`t a Pentium II have been indroduced at a slower clockspeed than a Pentium-200 MMX?

Why? If one has something at a faster clock speed then why not introduce it at that speed. Once again it is the systems speed that the user cares about not the processor speed. I get your point though about x86 limitations. But this implies that both the K6 and M2 have the same issues, and it is the system architecure a.l.a AGP, faster caches, SDRAM, I2O, MMX etc.. which provide the most benefit to the user.

The K6 and M2 by using the socket 7 are limited both in the CPU and systems architecture.
