Stockman, I'm the one who started asking about the processors in Nintendo not Halla. So, trash me as usual. Jim

StockMan and All, Re: "Trying to find some hope that the Mxi is useful for something, when it really isn't ..." Cyrix has been using IBM as their Fab source ... IBM has excellent technology, but is not a low cost producer. Now Cyrix will be using National which is a technology follower and will not be able to provide leading edge .25um technology. There has also been some discussion on this thread about Cyrix also using TSMC ... TSMC is an ASIC Fab that also provides last generation process technology. It's not clear what is the NSM/CYRX business plan?? Will they just try to provide low cost/low margin CPU's and be barely able to "squeak out" a very small profit ?? Make It So, Yousef
