This is only for windows systems.  On the AWE64, it only has 32-hardware 
voices.  The upper 32 are done in software.  This software checks for a pentium 
on installation, and that is why cyrix chips don't supposedly work.  In linux, 
that is not a problem, however.  I ran a Cyrix-120(ov 133) with an AWE64 with 
no problems.
