I also bought a couple for Pentium 200. They are a bit rarer, thought not really hard to find. Not as fast as the MMX models, but the top Pentium for many Pentium boards (the ones that aren't compatible with MMX).
Yup, exactly the same here! 😁
Another reason for me to get all 9 of them was because 1)I was hoping there would be a couple very new steppings in them and 2)because I also intended to try out overclocking them (and perhaps try out the 4x multi experiment, which may bust some of the chips).
I also got a couple of the 80502200's, because they are the fastest single voltage chips available (Yes I know, winchip is more Mhz, but not necessarily more speedy 😜 ).
