According to PC World (the top PC magazine IMO), the Cyrix 200+ and the Pentium 200 have identical scores overall after testing with all their real-world application benchmarks. From my experience, since I've used both, I would say that PC World had accurate results. Now let's think... I Pentium 133 with motherboard is much slower and costs $50 more than a Cyrix 200+ with motherboard. A Cyrix 200+ blows a Pentium 133 away in performance, there is abslutely no comparison...but yet it STILL costs $50 more..or are you going to argue that a Pentium 133 (which costs more) is faster than a Cyrix 200+????? The point is if I had used my money to buy intel, I'd be chugging away with a Pentium 120 while my friends, who spent the same amount, enjoy the power of a Cyrix 200+. Gaston
