My last two processors have been non-Intel (Cyrix 133 and AMD K6-2 350.
There was a minor problem with some games using the Cyrix, but I understand
that has been corrected. I'm not a technical person, but I have never had a
significant problem using these chips, and have saved an enormous amount of
money.

Does anybody have experience in using non-Intel Pentium processor based PCs
(e.g: AMD K6, K6-2 3D, IBM M6, M7)?
Are non-Intel processors reliable and fully compatible with Intel's?
Can they work well with all operating system and software designed based on
Intel's machine language?
