Other readers of -questions care to comment? The primary Cold server runs on a Cyrix P150+, the only problem I have is that the kernel finds it as a 486 chip, so the 586 and 686 instruction set it has is being ignored. Other than that, I have never had problems (other than an overheating problem, but that was due to the case it was put into). -Brandon Gillespie-
