If you read the post, the pan was on a stove with the burner on.

I saw someone cook a snack using 6-8 cyrix CPU's, now that was cool.

Awww...

Remember the days where each of those CPUs would have set you back by like 300$ (Cyrix) to 800$ (Pentium II) ?

I'd still prefer to play GLquake I with those things Wink
(did that with a Cyrix 6x86MX PR200, was slower than a Pentium I 100Mhz on Quake *g*)

@ Thandor

I'm quite sure a P1 200Mhz would beat a PR200 from Cyryx, Those Cyrix CPU's had a very bad FPU, it was thier ALU which was a little on the higher side, but mainly a CPU's power comes from it's FPU, which is most of importance.

Remember the Athlon Thunderbirds? They had a far higher FPU than even most Pentium4's and they also PWNed them in most gaming scernio's! It was the Higher FPU that got them there.

The FPU of the Cyrix CPU's was very low it was thier higher ALU that made them actually slower than other CPU's
