Two important things here: Neither Cyrix chips nor AMD's use the
same architecture as the intel chips, and while this does not affect the
performance of a properly conifgured system, it does make some impact on
the overall perofrmance.  The other thing is that on both the AMD and
Cyrix will not take full advantage of pentium optimizations. I'm not
completely aware of the M2 architecture but I know that the K6 is not
based on the x86 instruction set.
