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
