The Cyrix chips had some trouble earlier, but I believe the new series of chips from Cyrix should be very good for chess. Cyrix are particulary good a computation involving integer calculations, which should make it excellent for chess. If you take a look at (wonder if this will work..) <A HREF="http://www.icdchess.com/ccc/message.html?15134>"Crafty's speed across various platforms"</A>, you'll notice that the Cyrix MX chip gives a much higher node/MHz count than most other systems. Only trouble is, you don't get the Cyrix at very high CPU speeds. The fastest is something like 180 MHz, I think.. Jan-Frode
