Rubbish !!
I run many games that claim to be pentium only games on a Cyrix chipset,
after all pentium is only IBM trademark for the chip not a seperate type of
chip, it would have been called a 586 but Peugot already had the trademark
on that. The important components are the ram and clockspeed. With 98% of
software you will be fine with 3rd party manufacturers chips, after all
software designers don't profit by making games that will only run on a
small percentage of the target market. There are a couple of third party
chips that are a bit dodgy but
Cyrix and AMD are both good reliable brands IMO and have had know problems
with either.
