Hi Moe,
	I have a cyrix 686L 200+ with which I have been very happy. I have
linux on it but at one time had NT4.0, win95 on it also and they both
worked fine. You should try to get the L version it runs at lower
voltage therefore has lower heat generation. Also, the L version should
also be free of the L1 disabling bug that NT had.
Cheers and good luck.
