Cyrix crazyness saga continues..




For those who missed: yesterday I took a Cyrix P120+ and overclocked it to
133 to make it work as a P166+. I also feed it only 2.5v, although it asks
for 3.3v! non-FPU tests have shown me that it has the equivilant speed of
a Pentium running at 160-175Mhz indeed!

This morning I decided to turn off for a while the 19" fan I had pointing
at the open Miditower... the Cyrix stayed as cool as 30-40 deg.! just a
tiny bit above room temp! this is less than my P133 running at NORMAL
speed! you just can't TOUCH the intel!

Yes, Ladies and Kernelpatches, it seems Cyrix is a really cool CPU (insert
"Cool! it runs with linux" logo here).
