Nntp-Posting-Host: orion.devetir.qld.gov.au Keywords: cyrix,cpu Sender: news@devetir.qld.gov.au (Network News) Organization: DEVETIR, QLD, AUSTRALIA Date: Thu, 19 Oct 1995 12:30:46 GMT Message-ID: <syssgm.814105846@pandora> Lines: 11 Greetings ardent FreeBSD'ers! I mate of mine wants to sell me his computer before going overseas. The only snag is that it has a "Cx486DX2-S at 66Mhz" in it, according to the BIOS welcome message. It is detected as a Cyrix 486DLC by 2.0.5 and 2.1-951005snap. Am I about to buy a turkey, or are Cyrix chips now first rate processors? Thanks, Stephen.
