Unless someone can overcorrect me, I'd ask that this be read as "some"
Cyrix chips; certainly their DX40 and DX2/66 parts _appear_ to behave
appropriately.
On some motherboards, yes. We had cheap taiwanese motherboards (microstar)
which didn't work with Cyrix parts, even though they seem reliable with
other cpus. The symptoms were lockups, several times a day.
