Q. Are you aware of any 6x86MX software incompatibilities?

A. I have not discovered any incompatibilities with the 6x86MX that did not exist the the 6x86. Applications such as Windows 95 and many games that did not recognize the 6x86 will not recognize the 6x86MX. The problem lies in method of detection that the software uses to identify the CPU rather than with the CPU itself.

The Creative Labs AWE64 will still not work with the 6x86MX. For more information about Cyrix/IBM processors and the AWE64 check out my section from the 6x86 FAQ entitled; Why won't the SoundBlaster AWE64 work with a 6x86?
