[ale] Cyrix 233 CPU

[mattmagee.md at netzero.net]

I forgot to add the important fact that in my case I tried Win2000 also.  What got me thinking about condemming the CPU was Win2k occasionally would "find" a previously non-present math co-processor.  Knowing that the MB that this CPU had been in previously had suffered a catastophic transistor failure (read as FIRE!), and that the Chip in question had gotten REAL hot, I posited that the CPU had lost some part of its' Co-processor.  I popped the CPU into another box and had the same problem, thus the CPU was bad.

That 233 isn't one of those MediaGX chips, is it?
