I have a revision 5 chip, so I have to explicitly enable the cache. You shouldn't have to. Just look through the latest LINT (I run current) and you'll see some Cyrix options. Don't know if it's in stable yet. Otherwise, I don't know of any specific optimizations. I'd love to hear of any, though. jason -- Jason Bennett, jbennett@cc.gatech.edu | Member, Team OS/2!
