If they want to play games, especially Quake which makes massive use of the
math co-processor uoit of the CPU, they definitely don't want ANY! Cyrix
processor.  Instead of the Cyrix 300MHz CPU, they should consider an AMD
K6II or K6III in a 300MHz or faster configuration.  It takes the same socket
7 CPU socket.  The weakest point to all the Cyrix Pentium-class CPU's in
addition to overheating and other defects is the slowest math unit in the
industry.  Lose that Cyrix, quickly!
