The new Cyrix 6x86-P200+ is out and faster than the Intel Pentium 200. The
P200+ runs on a new motherboard with a main memory speed of 75 MHz, and in
recent tests the top Cyrix system scored over 100 on the WINSTONE 96 test,
the first system ever to do so. The Pentium 200 scored 89 on the WINSTONE
96 test. For more information, go to www.cyrix.com.

Well i am running on a Cyrix P150+ and i can tell you it is really compatible
with everything, i have been testing it on all kinds of programs including a
sql server under windows nt server. It runs very smooth and it is nearly as
fast as a real Intel Pentium 166Mhz. However because i live in The Netherlands
i am not yet able to get a hold of the latest Cyrix chips (P150+ is the latest
model here). Can anyone help on getting more directly than an import compagny
in The Netherlands. By the way i have a compagny in selling computers and this
chip is getting number one choise over an Intel chip! (I do hate intel for
being so expensive)

I can't say a whole lot about the Cyrix P200+, but I know the P150+ is crap. I put it in the system I
was building and after about 15 errors and system crashes just from fdisking my drive and trying to install
win95 I took it back, lost about $100 (thats how much its value decreased in 3 days), and bought myself an
Intel 133 which just blew the Cyrix away in general noticable raw speed. I also quit getting all the errors
and crashes I was getting like the first few times I tried to set my system up with the Cyrix. Basically to
make a long story short, it was *and It'll take quite alot of convincing to ever get me to try any of
their stuff again.

: I am not defending Cyrix, but from what I saw in various groups, no one
: complaints such serious problems with Cyrix...
: one thing I do know is that you need to upgrade your BIOS to get better
: support for the Cyrix, and also your motherboard will need larger current
: capacity (since Cyrix draws more current), and the Cyrix clock speed is
: more tricky.. maybe those are the reasons for your system crashes??
: I do think architecturally, Cyrix is more advance than Pentinum, so I
: hate to see them fail so miserably like you suggested.
I can't see how anyone can base an analysis of a CPU on the basis of the
piece of junk motherboard that the chip is sitting on. I've had my share
of junk motherboards with Intel chips on them that were just so flaky it
was unbelievable. I finally got a board that was designed right and flew
like the wind with an AMD chip on it.
I'd say that the first poster probably got a bargain bin board with a
Cyrix chip on it that would have been just as flaky with an Intel chip on
it.
