Craig, The market for low cost PC's, set top boxes, etc. is about to go through the roof. As a result, low cost, medium performance x86 microprocessors are in huge demand. Some examples: 1. Media GX revolutionized the sub-$1000 market. It was derived from the Cyrix 5x86, which began it's life as a 486, came in a 486 pinout, and was renamed to 5x86 only because the M1 was late. 2. Fuchi reported that ACER is manufacturing it's own 386 for $199-$499 PC's. 3. Brian Halla's announcement in Israel last week about NSM's plans for super-low cost systems. Reality is that a super-low cost (small) die is essential for this market space. If IDT (or anyone else) can provide such a processor in quantity, they stand a good chance of being successful.

Craig, I am typing on a Cyrix M2-208Mhz (oc from PR233) @2.9v on Asus SP97-V. It should be faster than M2-166Mhz on the same 83Mhz bus speed. However, I could hardly tell the difference. The new PR233 is rev. 6. It is just as cool as my the other M2-166Mhz (rev. 3) when oc to 208Mhz. M-Tech started to deliver their 100Mhz R581A here. ECS has been delivering their 100Mhz socket 7 motherboard in Taiwan since early this year. The workable 100Mhz motherboard should help the businesses of ECS as the 83Mhz T2P4 did to Asus last year. Fuchi ... who loves Cyrix's innovations Please support the PC industry & protect consumer interest techstocks.com
