Joe, The differences between 386, 486, 586, Pentium are not that great. Really!!. When did multiple instruction/clock, improved floating point, MMX etc.. not make a difference. The MediaGX is single instruction/clock, sucks in floating point and has no L2 cache, is basically a decade old technology, with bandaid. Re -- 486/120 probably vastly outperforms P60. It doesn't make it a Pentium, butit makes it a better performing chip. Well, the alpha is a better performing chip. Who cares. The fact that the MediaGX is positioned as a pentium equivalent when it is a 486 is duping the customer. This topic has been hashed time and again.So enough on this. Stockman
