I don't trust Cyrix very much, but ISTR that the Great Usenet Babble
reported that their recent parts are OK.

The ASUS board works very well here.  The only failure report i've
heard for it (might be unrelated) was of somebody who couldn't get his
ancient floppy streamer to work with the onboard FDC.
