On the CPU front, I have had very good results with a Cyrix 6x86-120
(150+).  It compiles the kernel faster and runs X faster than my Pentium
(TM) 133 at work.  I would estimate (mileage may vary) that it runs
Linux about 50% faster than the P133.  I have found no compatibility
problems, so far.

The posts about the FPU are correct, it's not as fast as a Pentium(TM)
at floating point, but it's fast enough for anything that I do.  And I
do a lot of antenna CAD design.  My problem with processors lately is
that the antenna optimizers are too quick to control, no matter whose
you're using.
