KY,
Re -- What 'low-volume' are you talking about with '486GX'???

Go find out how many 486GX Cyrix shipped last Q. Then find out how many of them were shipped to CPQ, then figure out how many PC's CPQ ships every Q.

This will provide you with the volume you are looking for. Add to that, that the 486GX is really a souped up 486 and you will see how CPQ is decieving the unwary unsuspecting customer.

All of this is moot anyway. CPQ is now the packard bell of computers!!
