I recommend Cyrix 6x86MX. And I can't imagine the 200Mhz CPU not doing everything you need, more than efficiently. Now take a look at this, and bear in mind I'm not long or short any boxmaker. I used to be long on three of them, but there is way, way, too much pressure on the profit margine:

I BTO'd this system at the below URL for less than $1,500.00.ÿ This sort of thing puts incredible pressure on CPQ/DELL/GTW/MUEI.ÿ And the war is just beginning.ÿ Good for the end user, but for the investor...?ÿ

Iomega is the only "box-thing" out there that is unscathed (so far) by profit margin presssure.ÿ My opinion.

The system:

ÿÿÿ Abit PX-5 PM2 motherboardÿ ($574.00), includes:
ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ 32 Megs 60ns EDO
ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ 4 Meg Diamond 3D 2000 (the Diamond Viper)
ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ 24x Toshiba CD-ROM
ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ 3.5" Floppy Drive
ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ 32 Wavetable 3D Sound Card
ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ 180 Watt Amplified Speakers
ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ MidTower AT Case
ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ IBM MX PR 200 Cyrix (MMX)
ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ Heatsink(s) and Fan(s)ÿ

ÿÿ Monitor: Magnovox .26 Dot, 17" DJ 700 ($595.00)

ÿÿ Hard Drive: 4.3 Gig WD Caviar Ultra ($259.00)ÿ

ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ Product Total $1428.00ÿ
