Cyrix (IBM actually) 6x86 P150+ overclocked to a P166+.  Currently kernel
2.1.17 + Cyrix patch (adjusted to patch cleanly to 2.1.17).  Every Cyrix
option enabled, including power down on halt and VSPM.  The motherboard is
a Triton II VX board.  Works without flaw.  Haven't had a single problem at
all, even overclocked.  Here's my /proc/cpuinfo for chip info.

processor       : 0
cpu             : 586
model           : 6x86 2x Core/Bus Clock
vendor_id       : CyrixInstead
stepping        : 1 rev 7
fdiv_bug        : no
hlt_bug         : no
fpu             : yes
fpu_exception   : yes
cpuid           : yes
wp              : yes
flags           : fpu
bogomips        : 133.53


Thanks,
Roy
