Jozef - Re: "you can spend $100 less and get Cyrix 6x86MX 200 and get a performace boost as well" Nearly all benchmark comparisons indicate that the Cyrix 6x86MX is slower than the Pentium MMX for equivalent speed grades when tested using "high end" applications. For low end applications, where a 6x86MX or a Pentium MMX are not even necessary (486's or low end Pentiums will suffice), the Cyrix may have some marginal speed adbvantage over the equivalent Pentium - again, for applciations where speed is generallynot even an issue (Word Processing, etc.). Please check Tom Uberclockermeister's article which describes these results - and note that the Pentium MMX is the fastest of the Cyrix 6x86MX, K6 and IDT C6 for high end applications - the reason people buy high end processors. sysdoc.pair.com Paul
