What do you mean -- "support"? I'm just curious ... I've been using NS Geode processors (233 and 300 MHz) for quite some time without any problems, and without requiring patches. They're recognized during booting like this: CPU: Cyrix GXm (232.74-MHz 586-class CPU) Origin = "CyrixInstead" Id = 0x540 DIR=0x8246 Stepping=8 Revision=2 (Yes, the Geode _is_ a Cyrix processor.)
