None we would have heard of.  But I don't see your problem having
anything particular to do with the processor, from your description.
I suspect you're jumping to conclusions by blaming it on the CPU.

Which rather strongly points in the direction of your graphics
hardware and its assorted software helpers (firmware, drivers) rather
than the CPU, doesn't it?

Try some of the console programs that are part of the XP itself, e.g.

	dir c:\djgpp

	type c:\djgpp\djgpp.env

	more < c:\djgpp\djgpp.env

	net help

Does their display come out as expected?
