Manufacturer description
Frequency: 200MHz. - Maker: Biostar. In my testing, one of the extra sticks worked and one did not. The motherboard requires RAM to be installed in pairs, you won't be able to use all four sticks together.
SpecPicks Verdict
SpecPicks scored Intel Pentium Pro 200MHz + Biostar 8600TTX-A + 32MB RAM TESTED/WORKING using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the retro cpus category. Intel's retro cpus lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here. Judge it on the specification table and the price rather than on sentiment: check the figures that decide your use case, then put it side-by-side with two or three close alternatives in the Compare tool before clicking through.
Common buyer scenarios for retro cpus of this kind: matching it to an existing build, replacing a failing part, or upgrading from a previous-generation equivalent.
