300mhz "Mach5" processor vs. 200MP

[Jesse Stanford]

I was looking around on OWC's website and in their clearance pages 
they were selling a 300mhz "Mach5" processor card for around 20$.  I 
have a 200MP card in the computer, but because most applications do 
not use the extra dual processor I figure that it would be faster to 
buy the 300mhz processor and install it.  Apparently the 300mhz 
"Mach5" processor is a special high-speed variant on the previous 
processors and was the last processor relased before the G3s and was 
nearly as fast.  My questions are:
Would this processor be compatible in my computer?  They only list 
the 8600/250 and the 9600/250 as compatible models.
Does anyone out there know of any benchmark or real-world tests on 
the internet or anywhere else that would show the difference between 
the 200MP and the 300?
on a related note, does anyone know of a website that lists all of 
the MP-savvy software that exists for the mac?  If I was to find 
enough of it, I may as well keep the current processor.  But hey, 
it's only 20$......
Anyway, any suggestions/comments/info would be greatly appreciated
Jesse
