Found your computer at the MOTAT Museum in Auckland, New Zealand which I just visited on my vacation:
So if yours fail or burn, then there is another one being saved 😉

Hi
I have 2230 version of this desktop.
I have installed Windows 98SE with Cyrix MediaGX Certified Win9x Drivers 4.0, but I can't make it to display more than 640x480x4. If I set more colors and/or more resolution it restarts, but settings are back to 640x480x4. Windows startup screen is 8bit color, so it is weird. Is there any way to force resolution and colors?
Another thing is that it has 200 MHz, but runs so slow:
Quake demo1 21,5 fps (320x200, no sound)
Doom (high) 26fps

Speedsys displays only black screen

The single-chip motherboard was unique to the MediaGX and couldn’t be chip-upgraded to a Pentium or 6×86, and the built-in sound and graphics prevented these from being upgraded too. Report item – opens in a new window or tab. This made the processor appear much slower than cyrixx actual rated speed.
Basicly they sucked. I remember reading reviews at the time. The advice was DON'T BUY ONE!!!
There's a glitch in the matrix.

Apparently 32-bit is dead and nobody likes P4s.
Of course, as always, I'm open to correction...😉
