Why not. It's a simple d/l. If you are temporarily
without any computer, and reside in the U.S., one of
us could burn you a copy of the demo and drop it in
the mail. I'll even volunteer for this.

Since I don't think Cyrix is in the 'biz anymore, you
must be referring to an AMD. Which one, and can you
tell us (in detail) what the problems were ? I'm
philosophically oppsed to "Big Brother-ism", so
Intel's recent decision to add DRM to their
processor's will likely see me switching to AMD on the
next build of my full tower system. I'll need to do
some research on main boards (but have always been a
big fan of ASUS), and on AMD cpu models. I'd like to
hear from anyone who has gone this route. I'd be
looking for a combination that is FAST. AMD's have a
reputation for running much hotter, so cooling issues
may be important here.
