Well the User's Manual calles it a Cyrix Gx86 64-bit x86 Mobile Processor and it looks just like the one on the computex site. http://www.computex.com.tw/cmc/MINI586-LAN.htm Key Features: Cyrix GX86-133 MHz CPU Cyrix 5510 Chip Set S3 86CM65 VGA, 2MB RAM, CRT & LCD AMD 79C971 Lan 10/100MB TPO Cyrix MediaGX 16 bit Sound 1 x 3.5" 1.44MB FDD Space for 1 x 3.5" HDD 1 x ISA 16 Bit Slot Card 2 x 16550, 1 x ECP/EPP 2 x 72Pin SIMM Sockets 60W Power Supply, 110/220V Case Size: 29 x 22 x 5.5cm The ones I have been using I get from Liberty Electronics which now have the name WinNET I (5BLCP) Ver. 1.0. About $285 US. They make a nifty looking router/firewall/vpn appliance. Thanks for the tip. I'll look at the diffs before I start.
