Joe, Re -- Pentium 166 MMX based system costs $200 more, or 25% more in Compaq based systems... But I can get them on other systems for $799. So it has a significant advantage than the compaq 486GX's. Re -- If you are saying that MediaGX is a 486, That's exactly what I am saying. Does it not have the Cyrix 5x86 core? Which is a 486 equivalent. Just increasing the Mhz, and saying that it is a pentium equivalent, does not make it a pentium. You should try Quake on it. The 486GX is REAL SLOW. Thus it was rightly categorized as an Internet Appliance. Re -- Your last attempt to explain something (AGP) was pathetic. Your last specific question about AGP was more pathetic. Stockman
