For the price, the M-II 300
can't be beat as a processor for business applications. As a gaming platform, you're
better off spending the additional $65 and getting a K6-2 as the M-II will put you through
more frustration during gameplay than you can imagine. Cyrix has come a long way
since the original 6x86 PR-120+ hit the streets, running at a meager 100MHz clock speed,
that was the processor that started the 6x86 generation and it is the reason the M-II is
here today.
The M-II is in no way a high-end chip, however it is great at what it does, and if all you find yourself doing is typing up documents, surfing the net and playing solitaire then the M-II 300 will last you quite a while. Even the user that plays the occasional 3D game may want to go with a K6 here, especially since the cost of a lower end K6 has dropped well below the $100 mark. Once again, it all depends on the type of user you are...but don't complain if your new M-II isn't running Quake 2 as fast as you would like it to.
