Joe, re: "I personally use subway and rent cars. And I prefer Pelegrino to Perier, because the taste is superior. But I can't percieve any difference between my Pentium 166 at work and Cyrix 166 at home, (other than the $200 or so that is my wallet)."

My God, you mean I could save $200. buying a Yugo non-upgradable PC! At about a dollar a day, I could buy 28 weeks worth of bottled water!

Seriously, you need to pay better attention. Cyrix is and will be a loss leader for PC makers and retailers, they have no significant market share, they don't make money. They will never be considered anything but the very lowest, cheapest product that you can buy. To put it in your terms, they are tap water.
