Who's cheating? No one, really. I'm pretty sure AMD uses a similar "rating" scale to Cyrix - the particular chip you have is called something like a K5-PR133, where PR stands for Pentium Rating (or something similar). It actually runs at 100 MHz, but its performance was found to be "equivalent" to a Pentium 133 MHz. How does it run? Any problems? Carlos -- Carlos A.
