    This is a program that ID's the 686 to the system as a Pentium. Don't
    kmow if it really works, but you can give it a try. I got it from a
    Cyrix information site. Just run it from any directory. Good luck.

    these are the last two lines my windows'95 autoexec.bat:

    c:\dos\cyrix\6x86opt
    c:\dos\cyrix\cpuiden

    where c:\dos\cyrix stands for the directory of the programs

    6x86opt optimized the cyrixprocessor
    and cpuiden makes the processor recognizable as a pentium, works for
    windows'95
    It recognized the processor as a pentium when above two lines were
    added to my autoexec.bat.

    These files are common fixes for Cyrix 686 cpu's. Check out Tom's
    Hardware guide at http://sysdoc.pair.com for a full rundown on the
    problems with early 686's and links to the appropriate fixes.

    good that cyrix is dead now.
