That is most unfair. I have a Cyrix 6x86 PR166. When I was
given a P200 (P54C) my build times went from 6hrs to 5.5.
So the Cyrix clocked at 133 wasn't to shabby, was it?
[Yes, I know there are other factors.]
IIRC it was about a third of the price too.
If your chip died, your fan wasn't good enough.
