subject: 6x86 CPU, Motherboard and

Hi Michael,

 MF> Can someone give me a cash price on a 6x86 (p166+) CPU, Good
 MF> motherboard with 512k pipeline cache, and 32mb EDO ram?

 MF> Also which CPU is better IBM or Cyrix?

Both are the same. All 6x86 chips (presently) are manufactured by IBM, half
with each stamp on them.

6x86-P166+ CPU $200-$250 (swap meets at lower price end)
32MB RAM $200

Depends on motherboard. A VX is about $160 with 256K cache, $180-$200 with 512K.
You don't really need 512K cache unless you have 64MB RAM or more.
