I know we had a rather technical discussion a while ago regarding the Intel/Microsoft/Compaq "standard" PC, and they were recommending MMX processors, but so far I've seen little evidence of software using MMX code. A P166MMX is only slightly faster than a standard Pentium166 with non-MMX code, and is more expensive than a Pentium 200.
