Cyrix Media GX

When we read on Cyrix homepage that the MMX-enhanced Media GX processor represents true system-design innovation and intelligent integration so did we get pretty interested in this combo. By merging graphics, audio, memory control and the PCI interface right into the CPU so could this revolutionary PC architecture perhaps deliver powerful, easy-to-use multimedia technology at an affordable price. When we finally recieved a test sample so that we could see what this baby goes for so were we pretty exited.

Along with compatible MMX technology, the Media GX processor features MPEG1 support, Microsoft PC97 compliance for plug-and-play access, integrated game port control, and AC97 audio compliance. The Media GX processor supports not only your Windows 95 and DOS-based games, but your MMX software as well. And with support for two universal serial bus (USB) ports, a PC with the MediaGX processor is ready for the future, able to accommodate the new generation of USB peripherals such as printers, scanners, joysticks, cameras and more.
