IBM to ship K6-2 MMX/300 for $1099 "Tomorrow, IBM will become one of the first major vendors to ship a consumer PC with AMD's K6-2 MMX processor. The 300-MHz chip includes technology for accelerating 3D graphics. The company will offer the Aptiva E85 with the new chip, 64MB of memory, a 6.0GB hard disk drive, and a modem for $1,099. In expanding its use of Intel clone chips, IBM has aggressively incorporated the AMD processor into its lineup as part of an effort to price low-end systems in line with competitors such as Compaq.

IBM will also offer the Aptiva E96 with 333-MHz Pentium II and 96MB of memory for $1,799." Full article at news.com
