  The 8250 is basically the same as an 8200, but a bit faster...I
believe they either optimized the microcode or upped the clock a bit.

  If you run this 8200 for a while, it might be worthwhile to swap the
cpu board out for an 8250...They're really cheap now; typically
somewhere between free and $100.

  An 8300 is an 8200 with two 8200 cpu boards.  An 8350 is an 8250
with two 8250 cpu boards.
