"How much was the PC based on a Cyrix uP?" Cyrix got pretty much of all of their design wins in low end computers. So the price difference was magnified by the fact that they went into the systems with the cheaper components. The OEMs used them to segment the market.

Dave, >How much was the PC based on a Cyrix uP? How much cheaper was it when compared to a "comparable" Intel/AMD computer? I think it was $798, but I didn't take the time to see what it had on it, so couldn't make comparisons with Intel/AMD computers. Just a side note, shopping for cordless phones and some other items at Fry's, I noticed a lot of refurbed stuff. If you want brand new, you have to look at the boxes. The refurbed units don't look to be much cheaper, if cheaper at all. Tony
