Yeah, I'm using it... it works fine if I just enable to reconition. If I
try to enable the special features I run into big problems.. probably
because my chip is 'IBM 6x68 166+' and not 'Cyrix' (I thought they were
the same)

It is a program that allows you to set certain bits in the CPU control
register. I run the rc.cyrix that comes with it at boot time on my cyrix box. I
still had trouble with the system locking up. The two ways I was able to fix
it were 1): Disable internal CPU cache in the CMOS setup OR 2) underc
set6x86 is a program that sets various cpu registers (run it during boot
in an rc script). For me it made a large difference in heat output.
Running windows I could feel the heat just touching my case. In Linux I
can safely touch my cpu fan and motherboard heatsink. I have the page
that has the

What is set6x86 ?

I have never had an ounce of problem with my chip. I have a 150+ that
behaves well. The problem I have seen is that everyone uses the wrong
clock setup. My 150+ is actually a 120Mhz. The other problem I have
seen is that not everyone makes motherboards that behave well with
cyrix/IBM chips. We

Yeah, sometimes I feel silly cuz' I'm 20 years old and I'd rather watch

I never found the Cyrix patches terribly useful anyway;
CPU identification in /proc/cpuinfo was about the best thing, I
never saw any performance increase.
I have K6 n

I tried the patch for 2.0.30 kernels (on a 2.0.30 kernel, of course) and
it locked up a few times ... so if anyone has had better luck with this
patch, please let me know. At this point
