I've just made the expensive move into Pentium-land!

I've bought the components and I'm about to start building the new
monster (quote by Dr Frankenstein!).  I've listened around and decided
to go for a Cyrix 6x86 P120+ (100MHz) on a TR5510 AIO ("Elite"/Triton)
motherboard.

But DEPRESSION looms...  After I've just been out and bought one, I've
now heard a couple of scare stories about software compatibility
problems and hardware quirks.

Can anybody raise or lower my spirit-level on this one?  Are there known
problems, or are these just naughty rumours put out by jealous Pentium
owners?


OK - Would the first contestant please step up to the microphone?
