Stockman, However given the 486 technology of the MediaGX, I would say that NSM is really knowingly decieving the uninformed consumer. Its not a nice thing to do. I showed you a link which shows MediaGX performing on par with Pentium Classic. Did you overlooked? Here it is again: cyrix.com The link shows MediaGX system outperforming Pentium Classic at the same clock speed. So if (what you call) Cyrix 486 technology outperfomrs Intel Pentium, what does it say about Intel? Joe

S, the death of Socket 7 is highly exaggerated, with L2 cache internal to the processor chip, the raison de etre for Slot 1 is eliminated. BTW, Anand's Hardware Tech Page anandtech.com says this (Nov 4): *Nevertheless, expect to see a few more Socket-7 chips from Intel in the near future.* He also says that Deschutes (the 0.25 process Pentium II) will only be available in SLOT2. Only the original 0.35 um Pentium II will be available in SLOT 1. Oh well, throw out your motherboards again! Petz
