Patrick, Another question re the GXM vs K6 is performance. As far as we know, the GXM still uses a 486/586 integer unit and unless there are significant speed improvements due to the integrated video and memory controller blocks, my guess is that the GXM comes up short at equal clock speeds.

I wish the CYRX web site included some benchmarks for the GXM. The very old info for the original GX is out of date.

Patrick,

The fact that the 1220 notebook runs at 200 MHz doesn't mean that a desktop version of the same chip cannot run at 233 MHz. We don't know what voltage / power requirements the notebook is running under.
