Hi,
Yeah, I know Cyrix is dead... heck it appears the K6 is dead too... but over in a discussion about K6's I searched Axiontech for socket 7 processors thinking it'd yield mostly AMD and a few Intel processors ( I was looking for K6+'s, as I'd prefer to offer a source for K6+'s other than a single from tigerdirect which sadly was the only K6+ source I found from companies I'm comfortable buying online from)... anyway... over at http://www.axiontech.com/cgi-local/hardware.asp?category=Processors&subcategory=SOCKET+7 I came across Cyrix/IBM processors I hadn't seen before... in particular at http://www.axiontech.com/cgi-local/prdtinfo.asp?prdt=PRCYMII433 is apparently a 100Mhz FSB 433Mhz CPU... has anyone tried these... I tried the cyrix.com website but could not get it up (it's apparently down, out of business or just not up?)... anyway it's not cheap... but it may be an alternative if the K6+ supply dries up... it'd be nice to learn what it's got... that is L1/L2 cache... and relative performance vs AMD or Intel chips... anyone have a link or info?
Thanks

http://www.pcinsight.com/reviews/mii433/ should answer your questions. It does have an L1 Cache, and should perform reasonably well. As it is based on .18 micron fab, it may run cool enough to be used with a stock heat sink. It requires the voltage to be dropped to 2.2 volts, and may(?) require the same power mods as the k6.
The 433 you mention is a pr433.. it's really a 300 and would not compete speedwise with a k6((2|III)&( |+)) however, it should blow the 200MMX and winchips out of the water.

Hi,
Thanks for the info... it is helpful... though regarding stock heatsinks... I've been running a single K6-III (at stock voltage... that's a V4 at I think 2.9V or 2.8V) for a year now... W2K 200Mhz 0 problems... and two K6-III+'s @300Mhz stock heatsinks 2.0V 0 problems (and one stock also no heatsink) has a few problems but mostly related to performance and abuse by my 4YO;-o
