Yes sir, the Pentium Pro. Check my X-Mailer line above.
No. Cyrix came out with a Super486 which was not quite a Pentium and called that
a 586 CPU. So when they came out with their Pentium Clone they named it the
Cyrix 686, the P166+ runs at 133 MHZ and costs a little less than an Intel
Pentium 133 but out performs a Pentium 166 in all but math co-processor functions
where it is closer to a Pentium 150.
I love my Cyrix P166+.
