Joe,
Re -- Benchmarks and link.

Remember its a cyrix link. The last benchmark I saw by pc mag/pc week showed that 133Mhz MediaGX = 75 Mhz pentium.

The MediaGX uses an old 586 core.. (Thats from the 486 days). They only cranked up the clock speed. No doubt a 133Mhz will perform the equivalent of a pentium 75. That does not make it a pentium.

Heck there are benchmarks that show the 486/120 performing the equivalent of a P60, that does not make it a pentium does it.

Now Duping the unsuspecting customer with the clock speed (if you see the ads you'll see what I mean -- the 180 Mhz boldly displayed)
and looks.

Now that's what I call a brilliant cyrix innovation!! Find better ways to dupe the customer.
