Same. To me, anything in the 3 digits minimum of MHz is instinctively suited for the Win9X territory. I never ran a "pure DOS" machine since 1996. P3 was made for the SSE-enhanced 3D gaming in the Win98 business, with the rise of PCI audio and USB accessories and mainstream internet browsing.
Supposedly, turning off the cache on a P3 600 gets it to approximately close 386SX16 speeds for Wing Commander, so....... yay?
