I have a Cyrix Upgrade Chip with heat sink attached to it. I'm 
considering replacing the Intell 386-20 in a COMPAQ DESKPRO 386-20
(circa 1988). 

Unfortnately, I can't see any orientation edge on the CYRIX Chip.
There's the CYRIX labelling on the underside of the CPU, but....
Is there sdome convention re the orientation of the labelling 
on the underside of CPUs regardless of manufacturer? How can
one tell which way to insert the chip? 

Will it work with teh above machine?
