Cyrix chips are "performance rated" - they don't actually run at 333. The MII 333 is designed to run at 83Mhz external x 3 internal multiplier = 249Mhz. The performance is pretty close to the Celeron 333. I'm running here flawlwssly with the same processor. ========================================================== = Bryan D.
