I agree with Harold. There are many other "Things " in the system that effect overall machine performance. Such as memory ,disk, etc that I doubt there will be any difference in a 200MMX and a Winchip 200. We have done some benchmarks on MMX processing and found the Winchip to be very similar in performance to the PII and PMMX chips. This did hold for K6 I which we found to be considerable slower (50-75% slower) on most algorithms. If we do get to it someday we could run one of the win benchmarks on the part, but I think you can gather that info from the Winchip site. I think for the price you it is you can't go wrong, IMHO, but then again I own more IDTI stock than INTEL.
