I vaguely remember a speed limit on the original Voodoo but always thought it just made the card overheat (which takes a while) Ah well, how does the card work in other systems?

Commate is Commel I think. They must have changed their name since the 90's As for DCS according to evasive (from nearly 18 years ago !), this is a reseller, not an actual board maker http://www.motherboards.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=52642#p52642 DCS/Commate was one of the dirty dozen of PCCHIPS/ …

OEM Proprietary DTK were rock solid through 1991, (albeit sometimes rather slow lacking cache) Never saw a 486 DTK let alone socket 7 so can’t comment, I do know that I had issues moving a 386sx25 DTK Board into another case as nothing lined up but again can’t comment on a socket 7

All my Cyrix chips were ibm branded and that one appears to be missing a line of text I would fire it up on a super 7 board with a low voltage, multipler and bus and see if you can run any diagnostics, earlier chips didn’t have any cpuid but still worth a try.
