Ok, I lied about the i486ness... it's an IBM 486DX4/100 CPU.
Forgot that that can make a difference ;-) Now, the interesting thing is, the Motherboard calls it: (from the BIOS screen)
Main Processor : Cx486DX4
The settings on the motherboard (jumprs, etc) are the same for the Cyrix and IBM chips.
Might the IBM CPU have the same problems as the Cyrix? I just got another OOPS about 20 min ago from 'traceroute' with nearly the SAME dump...
*sigh*
Time to go get a new computer, anyway -- quake is too slow ;-)
