On some motherboards, yes. We had cheap taiwanese motherboards (microstar) which didn't work with Cyrix parts, even though they seem reliable with other cpus. The symptoms were lockups, several times a day. -- Heikki Suonsivu, T{ysikuu 10 C 83/02210 Espoo/FINLAND, hsu@cs.hut.fi home +358-0-8031121 work -4513377 fax -4555276 riippu SN
