Pentium II Clock Speeds
This needs to be fixed up. The Pentium II desktop version only ran up to 450MHz, and the mobile to 466MHz. See. - MSTCrow 01:21, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
 * The article indicates the fastest desktop PII to be 450 MHz. However, everything outside Sandpile that I can find indicates the Mobiles (including Dixon) never made it past 400 MHz.  This is slower than the 500 MHz indicated in the article and the 466 MHz indicated on Sandpile.  Intel, for instance, makes no mention of anything above 400 MHz. Other sites support this. In any case, I am moving the disputed tag to the Dixon section. —  Aluvus  t/ c  02:06, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
 * It looks like Sandpile counted both mobile PII and mobile Celeron in their listing ( 233, 266, 300, 333, 366, 400, 433, 466 MHz (Mobile)), all Intel docs say mobile PII up to 400 MHz and mobile Celeron up to 466 MHz. They also have 0.28µ as manufacturing tech for Klamath PII but Intel docs show 0.35µ --Denniss 14:05, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Just adding that Pentium-II-based Celeron (Mendocino) desktop CPUs were available with up to 533MHz. -- Alexey Topol (talk) 15:34, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

Pentium 2
I want more information about Pentium 2 Introduction,advantages,disadvantages,conclusion —Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.38.188.2 (talk) 09:36, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

The article desperately needs analysis and a placement within historical context. The Pentium II 450MHz (512MB RAM) was the first Intel device which surpassed the Sun SPARC and drew level with the DEC Alpha. Those CPUs shipped in workstations which sold for a much higher price. So the last models of the Pentium II mark the beginning of Windows and Linux on Intel as a serious rival to Sun, DEC and HP's UNIX desktop equipment. The Pentium III Coppermine would later allow Intel servers to rival all but the most expensive of UNIX servers, which in turn made Linux the obvious upgrade path for those UNIX servers.

PII Mobile bus speed
There is no 100MHz bus models on the Intel Processorfinder:

Memory
It would be nice if this article had more information about what the Pentium II was used with. What kind of memory was it used with? Which expansion buses? Chipsets? etc. --Pascal666 (talk) 21:35, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Is this article un-sourced PR fluff?
The tone of the article doesn't seem neutral. It could use more citations, and it doesn't seem to cover the 512MB limitation of earlier Pentium 2s. The predecessor to the pentium 2, the pentium pro, could use as much as 256,000 MB of RAM, while early pentium 2s could only use two-tenths of one percent of that.96.231.37.18 (talk) 21:53, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

Source on the 500MHz PIIs?
I've been looking all over the internet for an actual verifiable source for the claim that intel produced 500MHz Deschutes chips and sold them as 333MHz. This wouldn't be out of character for intel but the only places I've found repeating this are clearly copying from Wikipedia. Where did this info originally come from? 172.4.121.7 (talk) 02:48, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
