Scumbria, RE:"There is a big difference between using obscenities, and using obscenity to describe another poster. And I do make insinuations all the time. You are one of my favorite targets. And I, you. Still, if someone said one of your chip designs was a POS. You might say they were full of it. RE:"Maybe IBM just screwed Cyrix?" Maybe. I was one of the first here to say it. Maybe the first. Way back when. One other "minor" detail is that some claimed that the IBM 6x86s were held to a higher standard and somehow ran cooler. That didn't help Cyrix either. It was a cinch that IBM really didn't care about Cyrix. Even when NSM fabbed the chip it failed, because it wouldn't scale. Something about a short pipeline. Jim
