Fuchi.

After listening to your recommendation on the VX PRO MB.I went out and bought my VX PRO MB + Cyrix 6X86L-P200+ + heatsink for $197 + Tax at a local swap meet about 3 1/2 weeks ago.
Finally, I got it working reliablly and I am very happy with its performance/price. But the weird thing is I have to set the CPU Voltage to 3.5V. It seems like the CPU needs a little kick.!!! (It crashed more often when I set it @ 2.8V or @ 2.9V) But if it is working I leave it that way (of course the CPU gets little warmer).
I wonder could it be the MB doesn't put out enough voltage according to its setting ?. Also my system won't "wake up" after it went into monitor power shut down for an extended period of time (over night). Do you think the APM of the BIOS is responsible for this "beauty sleep"?. I hope the new BIOS version will fix it. But anyway thank you for the recm.

Regards.

Duc.
