Joe,

don't you think it would make a lot of sense for Cyrix to support 100 MHz bus in MediaGXm?

It would cost too much for MediaGX box makers to use the fully qualified 10ns (or even 8ns) SDRAM to run on 100Mhz bus speed. Even the PC hobbyists are not sure which SDRAMs could run reliably on 100Mhz bus speed system, socket 7 or SLOT 1, yet.

I remember that someone told me that MediaGX clocks on 40Mhz PCI, and it could mean that MediaGX runs on 80Mhz bus speed already.

Joe,

RE:On a different subject, don't you think it would make a lot of sense for Cyrix to support 100 MHz bus in MediaGXm?

GXm does support SDRAM, but it all depends what the performance of the next price level system is. Compaq removed $13 worth of DRAM to make sure the 180MHz underperforms the 166MHz MMX box. The box maker decides. Think some other Tier Ones are looking hard now that the GX has crossed the 200MHz level and has MMX? Sure hope so.
