Scumbria,

HP was considering Cyrix in the past, but went with Intel instead:

The deals, however, always unraveled at the last moment. One of HP's Pentium MMX-based Pavilion computers currently on the market, for instance, was originally designed to be a Cyrix-based computer, according to sources close to Cyrix. HP shifted back to Intel at the last minute. The last non-Intel processor HP used was the AMD K-5.

Scumb,
Re -- If so, Cyrix may be in for a rough ride until a higher performance version of MediaGX is available.

You crack me up. You mean "Cyrix will lose even more money with the GX".

Scumbria,

Don't forget the performance will be AWFUL with only 16MB of ram.. and the 1.7 gig harddrive is too small for most users now-adays..
