In order to understand the performance difference between SDRAM and
EDO on Cyrix processors, I used the following components to run
Business Winstone97 under Win95:

CPU: Cyrix 6x86MX-PR166 (66x2) oc to 166Mhz (83x2)
Motherboard: PC-Chip TXPro M560 512K PB cache which could be disabled
from CMOS. With Ali bus master driver.
Hard Drive: IBM DHEA 6.4GB 512K cache
Video Card: Maxtrox Mystique 220 4MB 1024x768x256
OS: Win95 upgrade version

M2-166Mhz (83x2)
===================== Business Winstone97
512K cache with 32MB EDO 53.0
L2 cache disabled with 32MB EDO 48.6
L2 cache disabled with 32MB SDRAM 50.5

Based on these benchmark results, MediaGXm-233Mhz with SDRAM might
outperform the cacheless PII-266 with everyday applications if Cyrix
team added some performance twists towards GXm. If this holds true,
we will be doing very well with MediaGXm for '98.
