I've never heard of the "Trinity Works' Stacker 133", but I assume it's
just a re-marketed AMD 5x86-P75 (a 486 with 133 MHz core and 33 MHz bus).
I have been running this chip for over a year and it has never given me any
trouble. If this is what you have, your panic was probably something else,
*unless the motherboard for some reason has a problem with the chip*. You
probably would have needed to change some jumpers on your motherboard.
