Most important is split-voltage support. A Pentium MMX needs 2.8v core
voltage. A Pentium 200 is running with 3.5v single-voltage and your
Cyrix is most likely running with 3.5v single-voltage, too, if it is a
6x86 P150+. However, a 6x86L P150+ would run with 2.8v core.

Check if your board supports split voltage and which core voltages are
available.
