I found a package that does it for my Cyrix 233MMX, you can actually hear the
fans speed up when your compiling or anything cpu intensive, and my whole
system stays a LOT cooler. Between two 4.5G 7200rpm scsi drives and a big chip
pulling full power, your computer turns into a small furnace, I've got 4 fans
in my system, not counting the one on the chips itself. I'm attaching the .lsm
for the package. Good luck...

Title: Cyrix/IBM 6x86 CPU configuration tool
Version: 1.5
Entered-date: 14DEC97
Description: Allows one to modify the internal configuration registers in
the 6x86 (Classic, L, MX) CPUs. These include special
memory areas (important for e.g. graphics cards), I/O delays,
cache write policy (WB/WT), write-gathering, and an
automatic power-down mode when a HALT instruction is executed.
A utility to display 6x86 registers and model/revision is
included, as well as a short kernel patch that correctly
identifies Cyrix 6x86 CPUs in /proc/cpuinfo.
Keywords: Cyrix IBM SGS-Thomson 6x86 CPU cooling performance
