Cyrix is nothing new to E-machines. The used them on the start up but switched to AMD when AMD had to dump all the AFR66 chips. Now it appears they are switching back to Cyrix. This isn't necessarily good news as E-machines likes to pick up chips cheap. They also use Celerons.
The significant thing about it is that E-Machines has said they want to standardize on socket 370. That means 2 things. Cyrix is going to socket 370, which we already knew and secondly Cyrix must be near putting a L2 cache on a chip because the BX chipset or equivalent doesn't, as far as I know support a L2 cache off the chip.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
