assistant: Darrel,
When you first posted the trailer for sale there was not any mention of a
Monthly rental of 190.00 dollars that is all. Please I was not flaming.
Gee that was the farthest from my mind. Have a nice life, I hope that was
typed in jest. I never attended to hurt you. To one person to another you
have a great life and maybe our paths will cross again. I hope you
understand. I did not indend  to hurt anyone. if I did I am very very
sorry it came accross that way.
be cool be good and be great

 Quoting from Joseph Thomas to Samuel Lee
JT� This ssimply means : certain MB has jumper settings for all 3
  � types of cpu, Intel, IBM/cyrix, AMD.
  � I f  you hav an older MB, check the manual and it will have
  � clearly said, Intel only. Newer MB has all three settings.
  � hope this helps.
 I'll vouch for Cyrix..I bought a Cyrix 6x86 P200+ and it works great;
 renders 800x600x256 ray traced graphics under Win95 in less than 30
 seconds.  My motherboard has jumpers for it though..  :)?
 sysinfo reports it as a 180 Mhz 486 processor..
 As far as I can tell (at least on my board) the chip itself fits into
 a standard pentium ZIF (w/arm) socket.

Write your reply.

assistant: Clone was the best term that came to mind.  Cyrix CPUs also run
at lower clock speeds than the nominal speed rating -- for
example, the P133+ runs at 110 MHz, but it has slightly higher
throughput than an Intel P133.

 I have an interface that will connect a Commodore 64 to
 an RS 232 modem at 2400 baud.  I also have a SupraModem
 2400.  The modem is powered by a 9 volt ac power supply.
 Unfortunately, all I have is a power supply with a 9.45
 volt ac rating.  (I think that this means that the modem
 will operate at a slightly higher baud rate or the modem
 will run a little warm.)  The entire package can be
 shipped to contiguous 48 state locations for a $17 money
 order.  (This means that I will pay shipping)

assistant: Standard pentium sockets are socket1, socket3, socket7
         and now slot1.
          cyrix 200s are 166, 180 or 200 mhz actually.
Tnx.
