Re: Cyrix kernel patch
It is a program that allows you to set certain bits in the CPU control
register. I run the rc.cyrix that comes with it at boot time on my cyrix box. I
still had trouble with the system locking up. The two ways I was able to fix
it were 1): Disable internal CPU cache in the CMOS setup OR 2) underclock the
CPU.
I was continuing to have trouble even with the 6x86 package. Voltage
regulators are a big deal but this MTech motherboard has a MONSTER heatsink on
the voltage regulator and it is designed to support the cyrix chips.
The one thing that I have not done, that I probably SHOULD do, is go to Radio
Shack and get a small tube of that silicone heatsink compound and put a thin
layer between chip and heatsink. This can more than double heat transfer.
