    "if you feel that 320 x 200 is the only resolution you want to play at there is no point in choosing the Pentium II over the Pentium MMX."

    320 x 200 is DEFINITELY the only resolution I want to play at!!!! Love these old articles- really puts today's technology in perspective. 320 x 200 on a PHONE is considered old news today!

    And in 2016 I am reading it. Lol. I agree, I like it when they keep the old articles live. Pentium II is quite a cool CPU. Comes in a cartridge a little like the games you used to get on the old consoles. :). Probably wont see a CPU like that again.

    I came for purchasing advice, naturally.

    I'm planning on buying a Pentium MMX, so curious. Though my Pentium 2 clocks az 350MHz so there is no contest.

    I just bought a Pentium III :)) I am from the time of the 8086, my first intel PC. Nostalgia

    I remember at the times my friend used to play quake on a pentium 133, and it ran smoothly.
    Now i find out that even pentium 2 @300mhz could handle it
