Hi all, I just "upgraded" from a Cyrix M2 PR-233 to an AMD K6-2 350. However, I'm just wondering if this was an upgrade or a downgrade: the Cyrix was a 6x86-class chip, whereas the AMD is a 5x86! CPU: Cyrix 6x86MX (187.50-MHz 686-class CPU) Origin = "CyrixInstead" Id = 0x600 Stepping=0 DIR=0x0652 Features=0x80a135<FPU,DE,TSC,MSR,CX8,PGE,CMOV,MMX> CPU: AMD-K6(tm) 3D processor (360.00-MHz 586-class CPU) Origin = "AuthenticAMD" Id = 0x58c Stepping = 12 Features=0x8021bf<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,MCE,CX8,PGE,MMX> AMD Features=0x80000800<SYSCALL,3DNow!> Can anyone explain this to me? Thanks, Michael P.S. I'm perfectly happy with the chip, anyway.
