Jim, I bought a "Boxed PR200" (this means a fan is included). It was rated for 66MHz with a 2.5 multiplier and 2.9V, so that the processor would run at 166MHz. I overclocked the CPU to 75MHz by running it at 3.2V and it works great. I bought a Diamond Viper V330 card and it is quite fast. It handled the slight increase in PCI Bus speed from 33MHz to 37.5 MHz without problems. I also bought a single 64M Byte SDRAM DIMM Module and it handles the high speed just fine. The system was for a friend. I am waiting for the 100MHz System Bus operation and at least PR266+ speed grade. Bob

Jim, 100Mhz bus speed socket 7 motherboards from all major mobo manufacturers are coming. I heard that Gigabyte and ECS are distributing these 100Mhz bus speed boards in Taipei for feedback. If you could not wait and 128MB RAM is all you need, I would recommend Asus SP97V which was approved by Cyrix for MX-PR233. Not only having extremely stable 83Mhz bus speed, it is quite memory friend at that speed. I have tried various 60ns EDO and FP (of major brands) and have no problems. BTW, SP97-V has a jumper to select asynchronous PCI bus and could enable linear burst mode in BIOS. After the pass of extraordinary, I bought 4 pcs. 60ns 32MB EDO (Micron OEM) @35 each to optimize my office system, M2-166Mhz. These RAM are the lowest that I ever paid. :) You might visit Asus website for more details. asus.com.tw Fuchi ... who loves Cyrix's innovations Please support the PC industry & protect consumer interest techstocks.com
