The Cyrix is a PR 333 (pentium rated) It runs at 250mhz and is s'pose to be equivalent to a Pentium 333. All Cyrix's chips are PR rated

exactley. Cyrix chips give you an "equivlant" rating to an intel. For example the cyrix P166 performed as well as the intel 166 but actually ran at 133mhz. (I actually still have one of those chips and its pretty fast)
