I have had my cyrix P166 for about a month now and
it runs all of my racing sims fantastically with all
the graphics turned on .
The key is too have a good 3D video card with this
combination there is virtually no difference between
the it and a pentium except the price.
I have had no heating problems and have two fans and
a wide case to allow for air flow .
also intel has had their share of heating problems also
with certain pentium chips
