I've just built a new PC for myself, the main CPU being Cyrix's new M1 5x86
chip.  I'm slighly baffled though, in that programs like MSD, PKZIP, etc.
report my system as being a 486DX.

Should it be reported as being a Pentium, or it is actually a 486 but with
heavy duty go faster stripes on it?

TIA,
