Subject: Linux w/AWE 64 and Cyrix 6x86 CPU
+AD4-I'm planning on setting up a Soundblaster AWE 64 under Linux. I also
+AD4-plan on using this in a Cyrix system and have heard that the AWE 64 and
+AD4-Cyrix CPUs don't get along well. What I was wondering is if anyone has
+AD4-any words of advice before I start playing with this combination?
+AD4-Thanks in advance.
+AD4-
This is only for windows systems. On the AWE64, it only has 32-hardware voices. The upper 32 are done in software. This software checks for a pentium on installation, and that is why cyrix chips don't supposedly work. In linux, that is not a problem, however. I ran a Cyrix-120(ov 133) with an AWE64 with no problems.
