It has voltage autodetect, 83MHz capable bus (I am running 75mhz bus). It is TX chipset. The memory is also new (60ns EDO). I also found a utility that seems to tune Cyrix processors. It is called set6x86 -- it looks very promising as it can tell the processor to go into a special low consumption mode when it is on HALT instruction (which is 90% of the time).
