The 110mhz (P150+) and 120mhz (P166+) versions cost almost 50% less than their Intel counterparts. The few magazine tests I've seen seem to back up Cyrix's compatibility and speed claims, but that hasn't stopped real OS's from breaking things before. :-) Any information would be greatly appreciated.
