VI Cyrix CPUs
Remember the FastMath folks? They
had an answer to the 80486 with the Cyrix 5x86. While
the CPU sat in an 80486 motherboard, it performed rather well
by using some of the architectural features normally found in Pentium
class CPUs. The Cyrix 5x86 was available at 100 and
120MHz. While fitting a 486 motherboard, it offers
performance comparable to roughly a Pentium 100. While the CPU
is a 3.45-volt design, firms such as Evergreen Technologies,
mounted this Cyrix offering to a voltage regulator, allowing
it to be dropped into an older 486 motherboard. A quick check at Ebay
found offerings for $10.00 apiece. This chip is a nice way to squeak
out a little more life for a 486 PC running Windows 95
and a couple of applications, or converting to use with Microsoft Terminal
Server.
