Nice, the is a Cyrix6x86MX PR200 variant I didn't already have in my collection. I only had the 2x75MHz version and no 2.5x66MHz one!

Oh, this brings back memories! A friend & I upgraded to 5x86's (him AMD, me IBM/Cyrix) a year or so before 6x86's were announced. All because we wanted to play Descent II against each other over modems. Then the 6's came out and made them both look like 386's in comparison.
