Well, I'd not swap memory just yet.

First step should be to introduce more wait states to see if memory 
speed is the issue.  BIOS will allow you to do this usually.

But on the Cyrix processors, make sure that you have a "friendly" 
version of gcc.  I've seen versions of gcc that would SEGV or signal 
11 incorrectly, but backing up to an earlier rev worked fine. But if 
it happens on both processors try the wait states.

On AMD chips it's yet another problem sometimes :)
