Re: "You are missing the OBVIOUS.How much money will Cyrix make on a $299 PC?"

Read more carefully. I said:

<<"Cyrix loses a helluva lot of money": at that price I guess so. >>

Wasn't that OBVIOUS enough.
Profitable or not, in the near term they still might be able to pressure intels prices at the low end. N'est pas? Or maybe they already have.

Anyway, here's some encouraging news about 64bit NT and SMP to cheer you up.
techweb.com

Digital's Robert Palmer and Microsoft's Bill Gates:
.....

Gates offered a crumb of new information on Win
NT 5.0, which is the first NOS under which
many of the services and technologies mentioned
today will work.

"We expect beta two before the middle of the
year, and based on customer feedback we get
from beta two, we will commit to a final ship date,"
he said. "Our top priority is making sure this is a
superior, high-quality product."

Gates said support for Very Large Memory --
essential to running 64-bit systems -- will be
included in the second beta of NT 5.0.

Microsoft's and Digital's increased development
and marketing efforts ought to strike fear into the
world's biggest computer company, analysts said.
