    I was a fan of the Cyrix line of processors when I first started playing with free Unixes like NetBSD. They didn't have the bugs of the early Pentiums, were worlds more affordable, and have very respectable integer performance, which is quite useful for Unix.

    I had one of these. It was a P90, clocked at 90 MHz, but which claimed to be the perf equivalent of an Intel Pentium at 100Mhz. You can see these "P" numbers in the wikipedia article. From what I remember it worked fine, but I mostly used that PC to screw around with Slackware and work on my CS assignments.
