There were lots of machines manufactured that could be jumpered to 200Mhz with non-MMX chips but not with MMX chips because the MMX chips used a lower power voltage. Intel saw fit to stop production on the 200 non-MMX P200 chips thus ending the life of numerous P133 and P166 systems years earlier. :-( Fortunately they do come up from time to time on Ebay.
