Wily, Try to plug your old Cyrix into the newer TX board and compare again. I would suspect some wrong ISA settings - 8 and 16bit "recovery time" may be too high - set it to 1. Is your system BIOS set to cacheable? Also, are you sure about your memory timing? More, some weird BIOSes may enable periodic jump to System Management mode; try to play with/disable power management features... In the worst case some "enhanced" PCI settings may be disabled as well... You should know the difference between a brand name board (ASUS, ABit, FIC, Gigabyte, Microstar...) and a no-name "generic": when a "generic" newcomers screw up board layout and cannot get the full performance out of the chipset, they use the least aggressive chipset settings and hide them from you behind their BIOS to get the board work more or less stable, and ship out the doors... Good luck.
