Joe, From what I have learned, 100Mhz socket 7 boards, such as M581A, need 4~5ns L2 PB cache and 7~9ns cache tag to run 100Mhz bus speed reliably. 10ns SDRAM is not a big problem as I previously believed. Some could even run 100Mhz bus speed with 45ns or 50ns EDO reliably. MicroStar and ECS are selling real 100Mhz S7 boards in Taiwan now. Fuchi K Who loves Cyrix's innovations Don't buy Intel processors! In stead, buy the processors from its competitors to keep Intel from long-term monopolizing x86 processor market while maintaining health competition and the PC innovations. techstocks.com

Joe, After upgrading my BIOS to Rev3 I managed to run it for a few days at 90x2.5. Without a problem. But still no 100Mhz. Could be a bios bug again, awaiting the next Bios upgrade impatiently :) But I reverted back to 75x3 because of the option of an Asynch PCI bus at this bus speed.. I can run my AGP card at 75Mhz with this setting. BTW anyone know what is the normal operating temperatue of a 6x86MX 233 ? Mine runs at 34-36c with the case opened and at 42-44c whit the case on.
