The only non-intel or AMD hardware I have access to is a debian linux box
with a Cyrix 233 processor.

gavin@gaspode:~$ cat /proc/cpuinfo
vendor_id       : CyrixInstead
cpu family      : 6
model           : 2
model name      : M II 3.5x Core/Bus Clock
stepping        : 8
cpu MHz         : 233.863
flags           : fpu de tsc msr cx8 pge cmov mmx cyrix_arr

gavin@gaspode:~$ ./a.out
Testing PAUSE instruction:
Register esp changed: 0xbffffd68 -> 0xbffffd2c
gavin@gaspode:~$


So no problem there. Hope that's useful.

Gavin
