AGP and fast graphics memory. In either case it will be much much faster than that pitiful mediagx toy which cyrix nay NSM will come up with next year. Who cares what's inside? The Cyrix "toys" are fast enough for most applications and they cost less too. Intel is the next Seagate. PTB

Someone told me a Pentium II -266 with no L2 cache might be as fast as a P-90. Then again rest assured Intel will come up with a benchmark to make it look good. You haven't really been following Cyrix/NSM or you wouldn't be making such crass statements about the MediaGX. NSM's CEO, Brian Halla was on CNBC today, They are heading in a different direction. $500 full featured PC's and then $200 PC's. I don't care what they take off a Pentium II, you won't see a Pentium II system that cheap unless Intel trades at $10/share. Take a look at the roadmap for Cyrix...MediaMX...that's a different core so you can't moan about the 586 core. Hey, why try to compete head to head with Intel? I'll leave that to AMD who has little chance of success. Jim
