heard of it but never used one of their products

Does using it count as just finding a couple boxes with them in it at the dump and setting them up to run some old machinery?

[mahyar]

Any PC enthusiast from the 90s will remember Cyrix. I also remember this ridiculous line from Mission Impossible:

Which CPU? AS I recall they started out offering a nice Math Coprocessor for 286 and 386 CPUs. Later they had CPU which was basically a 486 without the FPU that fitted into a 386 Socket.

Basically any Cyrix CPU

I had a cyrix 6x86-100 back in the day,  then it was all about the pentiums.

That is well before most were born, but I remember it well.

I actually remember a film Intel made, I watched it when I was a kid a few years after it was released 

The Journey Inside (1994) - IMDb

I used a Cyrix MII 233 IIRC in my first PC. It did decently enough for 12 year old me and dial up internet. I could play starcraft. I had that for a few years, more like 5 or so.. I was in highschool when I got my next computer. I built it out of spare parts in my electronics/computer tech class. The teacher said if I could make a working rig from the random left overs I could have it. I came out with a AMD K6-2 450 (OCed to 500 woot woot) on a tyan motherboard, 512MB of ram and a 10GB HDD with a tnt2 graphics card. In an old old full tower baige case. (I painted it black, and the power button orange..) I think it actually still used an AT power supply.
