I have bought half a dozen of these processors to upgrade 
some of the PC's here at work. I am however finding that 
some of the existing motherboards although stating 
support for the Cyrix M7 chip don't quite like these 
processors. I have one motherboard which will only run the 
processor at DX2-66 ( clock doubled 33 ) and one which runs 
but falls over falls over occasionally. All have been 
fitted with fans and heatsinks and all motherboards have 
been jumpered for 5v and M7's. Anyone know of any funnies 
with these beasts ?
