Using Cyrix 6x86 200MX and loving it. But why does Norton Utilities tell me that it's a 6x86 chip running at *150Mhz*? Some other program told me the chip was a *5x86*. Do you know what's up?

Norton Utilities Benchmark test says I'm running at more than twice the speed of a 133Mhz system (57 vs. 23), yet much less than half the speed of a P-II 300Mhz which benchmarks at 140.

My experience is that it runs a tad better than my kids' P200MMX.

I'll never use Intel again.
