MediaGX computer chips are going into webtop boxes

That seems to be Cyrixes plan---to offer under an $1000 audio/video box with computer/internet and video capabilities.

However the MediaGX I bought landed on a lawyer's desk. Just where it belongs.

Sitting on my desk is a VGA equipped with a TV tuner. I watch CNBC while following PCQuotes and the Internet for stock info over the SAT. (Just wish the Koreans would break the 21" monitor market wide open. I need more screen space.)

Guess I won't need the CNBC $99 toy will I?

=======================
PS. I believe you can disable the video on the GX and add in your own VGA card. I just can't figure out why anyone would want to do that. If you want a Porsche you buy a Porsche. But you don't drive your Porsche to the supermarket, unless you like scratches, you drive your Honda.

You get it?

=======================
Watch the Won.
