At an L.A. computer swap I saw that the non-MMX CPU is way higher than the MMX version, and since I have a non-MMX CPU I'm about to sell, I'm wondering why one is valued much higher.
The P200's didn't enjoy the top dog position in the Chipzilla line-up for very long. "MMX" was the Intel engendered buzzword, and naturally everybody "just had to have one." For this reason, a lot more P200 MMX's were manufactured than the P200's without the magic MMX capability. The plain 200's were a lot more expensive eighteen months ago as well.
well, mmx does not do as much as you hope it would. but that does not mean support for MMX does not exist. though mmx support is great, and is better than without, mmx much less useful than sse or 3dnow.
Yes, the MMX version had more L1 cache. Intel basically souped up their Pentium line and told everyone the new ones were better because of MMX. The MMX versions are better, but not really because of MMX.
