The P233 it is then. Thanks.

The FPU on an abacus is actually faster than a Cyrix. :-P


Plus, it won't scorch or discolor the Riston coating on your motherboard...



Hmm...wonder what socket type will fit an abacus? It'd have to be something primitive...ah, I got it! Socket A. :)


You will be assimilated...bunghole!

Stewie: So, is there any tread left on the tires? Or at this point would it be like throwing a hot dog down a hallway?

Cyrix is even worse, do the math. :)


Cyrix chips (especially the late models) were manufactured by IBM and ran very hot. I avoid those like the plague and wouldn't even use them as counting beads in an abacus...

I have some old computers laying around. I am going to resurrect one of them. It will be used to write documents and surf the web. Now should I resurrect the Intel P233 MMX or Cyrix MII 300 GP? I am thinking of running Predictor on it and maybe Orbit.

Spec:

Intel P233 MMX or Cyrix MII 300 GP

128Mb ram

win 98se


Go for the Pentium. Cyrix chips rank even lower than the original AMD K6 and K6-2 processors in terms of the FPU. A 233mhz Pentium crunches Seti at about the same speed as a 350mhz K6-2...and if Cyrix is even worse, do the math. :)

The P233 MMX.

More MHz, more raw CPU power, better FPU.
