Chris,

 DH> The Cyrix133 pught to be cheaper than the Pentium 120 cos its

 DH> 133...

 CD> BUT have you actually done a landmark test comparing the two ?

I have run Landmark on a P66 and a P75 and the Cyrix 586-100 is faster than
both. The 133 is rated around the P90-100 mark but I havent used it. Cyrix
have just released a 686 which uses a Pentium m/b and is rated at P166. It
also only costs $404 from Bozzo Brown on the Internet - for me, the $$$ is
at least as important as the speed - Id buy another Cyrix any day.

Damian.

BTW Landmark rate my 586-100 as a 423Mhz CPU with a 1097mhz FPU.
