Cyrix 6x86MX PR200

The Cyrix 6x86MX PR200 was Cyrix' answer to the Intel Pentium 200. Generally it ran quite well although it ran slightly hotter than the Pentium. For Office use the 6x86 was an excellent choice but for gamers Cyrix left the competition when Quake arrived. The floating-point-unit (FPU) wasn't that strong causing the PR200 to run as fast (or slow) as a Pentium 100.

In European magazines from back in the day the 6x86MX was mentioned in adverts that sold computer parts of whole systems. Usually they sold something like a Pentium MMX 166, 200 and 233 and offered a PR200+ as cheaper alternative.

Also note that the Cyrix 6x86MX PR200 came in two different versions: one with 166MHz/66FSB and one with 150MHz/75FSB.
