Boxed version of Pentium MMX processor. These processors were sold with integrated heatsink and fan, which, coupled
with Zero-Insertion Force (ZIF) sockets, made processor upgrade much easier. Markings on these CPUs were on the
heatsink below the fan, under normal conditions (with fan installed) the markings are not visible. But even then it's still
possible to tell the processor speed by looking in the left-lower corner of the CPU - the number in this corner is the
speed of the microprocessor in megahertz.
