I installed one for testing, but the chip i got reported itself as a 386 
chip (running like a 110 mhz one according to norton's sysinfo) and they 
told us it had the 386 opcodes, not the '586' opcodes, that were to be 
available later (it was about two months ago)

FreeBSD liked it, but X11 performance wasn't too good, because of the 
lack of an npx (i guess) and FreeBSD reported it too as a 386 clone.
