Not all Cyrix chips are that way. I can say that the Cyrix MII 300s have a working rdtsc (minus the rest to 0 problems that are already known and handled). I have one acting as an email server (running several other internal services... some of which are "high load") and a development machine, which for the time being has an even higher load. If you kill the rdtsc in the MediaGX or some of the other early Cyrix 6z86 please don't go overboard and kill it for all Cyrix.
