I'm trying to figure out what won't work with a Cyrix?I
understand your thinking but mine is a little different.I
have a Cyrix 200+L running at 3 X 75 and have been running
it for 8 months or so with no problem.My reasoning is that
this is a $75 cpu.It is cheap enough to experiment with.At
the time I built this a Pentium would have cost $400 or so.
