The video card was cheap, but if the Cyrix is a 486-class chip, why didn't
you consider the AMD 5x86/P75-133 (faster than a Pentium 75) at around
$240, and that price includes the necessary PCI motherboard as well.  $460
is about what I'd expect to pay for a Triton board with a P90 fitted!

Don't forget the dealer price on 8Mb SIMMs...  $99 including tax.  :)
