PAR, >>>Todays friday newspaper has a big color add:

Compaq Cyrix MII for $879 (very nice specs on the system)

and

Packard Bell Cyrix MII for $599 (nice intro level PC)

And guess what?

The word Intel was nowhere on the page!<<<

You didn't mention what paper it was. Maybe the Prague, Czechoslovakia Times, or some other Eastern European location where cheap processors end up?

I made a visit to Microcenter over the weekend and noticed an interesting phenomenon. Cyrix was nowhere to be found. Everything was Intel inside.

Apparently Cyrix has worked it's way into the major OEM's, and Intel has taken over the bargain basement shops. What does it all mean?
