Hi Brett,

 GA> someone else will probably tell you why your statement is so
 GA> funny, but  personally I would state that the INTEL Chip is by
 GA> far better and by far  dearer but worth the extra dollars.

 BK> Yes it is funny - both your statements.
 BK> IBM and Cyrix chip are the same thing different badge.
 BK> Your statement Glenn is even funner. The Cyrix chips are far superior
 BK> to the Intel chips, it might pay for you to look at some benchmarks.
 BK> By the way haven't seen an IBM 686 only 586.

Just bare in mind that Norton SI and Landmark are poor tests, the 6x86
certainly isn't 2x faster than a Pentium. Believe Winstone and Winbench, they
are the BEST because they test real applications.
The IBM 6x86 is more common in Australia than the Cyrix is!
