Cyrix compatibility

I just found out today, that the Cyrix 6x86 chips will not work with NHL '97 either (my buddy has a 166+), on the box the requirements say minimum PENTIUM 75. When you try and run the game you get an invalid instruction code error. So maybe Nascar 2 might end up the same way, Pentium only.

Wrong...Adam has already stated that the Cyrix problem has already been fixed and will work fine in the final verison.
