The GeForce2 MX is a slimmed derivate of the GeForce2 family. The GTS, Pro and Ultra models use exactly the same chip design, just running at different clock speeds.

The abandonment of features with the MX is not only cutting performance, but is also an advantage in terms of production costs and power consumption. Many MX cards do not require any active cooler.

Instead of 4 pixel pipelines, the MX does only have two. In addition the memory interface does not have to be 128-bit wide like with the other chips, but can optionally be 64-bit (even though hardly anybody builds this configuration). Last but not least, the chip clock has been reduced to 175 MHz.
