Can I use the HSP modem on a motherboard using a Cyrix CPU instead of a Pentium?
This product was marketed as a product for use in systems with a true Intel Pentium-100 or faster CPU running Windows 95 only! Our initial tests using the driver designed for the Pentium showed that the HSP modem would not perform on a Cyrix 686 – 150. All of the system’s resources would be used just to establish and maintain the connection, leaving no resources left over. The chipset maker has released a driver that performs better when used with CPU’s other than Intel’s Pentium. PCtel claims that the floating point processor on the Cyrix CPU is much slower than Intel’s or AMD’s. Since the Singnal processing done by the CPU uses the floating point processor, the performance of your system depends upon the performance of the floating point processor.
