Sounds to me as if it's >a little slow for a Pentium Pro clone ?! The Cyrix 6x86 is NOT a Pentium Pro clone. It is a _Pentium_ (P5) clone. The Cyrix marketing department calls it a 6x86 because it is faster than a Pentium of the same clock speed. It plugs into a Pentium socket and runs in a Pentium motherboard. According to all my benchmark extrapolation, the 6x86 is in fact slightly to significantly slower than a Pentium Pro of the same bus speed. You should think of the 6x86 as half way between a Pentium and a Pentium Pro. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael L.
