Stocky,
I believe that over PR233 that the PR rating is the Pentium II equivalent rating. Heck, if I was NSM I'd use a more exact PR rating like PR313 or PR357 as long as it was higher than the Pentium II MHz rating. Of course they could come out with a new Celery rating where a Cyrix running at say 225MHz would have a Celery rating of about PR450...

Stockman - Re: "Surely you jest. PR means whatever Cyrix chooses it to be. Pentium, PentiumII, Merced... equivalent."

Thank you for pointing out the obvious.

Cyrix now has VC's that go with the PR300 MIIs.

VC's = Virtual Customers.
