Such a system would normally surprise retailers and industry observers who have spent years watching Packard Bell build only Intel-based systems.

The new Packard Bell computer closely resembles Compaq's Presario 2240, set to ship Jan. 14. Both models are based on 220MHz Cyrix MediaGX processors and come with 24MB of RAM, 20x CD-ROM drives and 56K-bps fax modems. Cyrix declined to comment on the existence of a 220MHz MediaGX processor, and at least one Cyrix OEM customer said the company denied there was such a processor on its "road map" of future microprocessor introductions. But retailers said the $799 Cyrix-based Packard Bell model would shift to a 233MHz chip at the same price in February.
