anyone know the difference between 200MMX and 233MMX?

[weesa20]

Basically that says it all...I have a MMX 200 that is all black and does not have any viible metal on the top

I also have a MMX 233 that is black with a silver center and little metal pieces around it. I checked the serial numbers on Intel's page and so I know they are both MMXes.

I know that Intel used a ceramic material with better thermal properties in some chips of this lineage, but I don't know which is which...they both overclock equal, limited by my MoBo.

Thanks

Chances are that they aren´t different at all. It might be only the multiplier that´s different. My old P166MMX turned out to be a 233MMX after a little scraping off the first layer of paint the seriel for a 233MMX was revealed. I suspected it before because it ran at 260MHz almost without any change in temp. Yours probably the same also as long as they are fairly the same age.
