Hi All,
   I'm not sure if this is off-topic or not, but here goes. Recently, my
power supply died and took my hard drive, motherboard, etc. with it. I
had a major rebuild done using the cyrix 6x86 mk II cpu. The shop was
supposed to use a 300 mhz cpu, but my display says it is a 233 mhz cpu.
   When I called the shop about this, they tried to tell me they used a
233 mhz cpu because it was as fast as a pentium 300 mhz chip. Personally,
I think this is hogwash, but first I'd like to find out if the 233 mhz
cyrix cpu is as fast as a 300 mhz pentium chip.
   Secondly, I would like to ask for suggestions about how to handle
these people and this situation. They did list the cpu as a 300 mhz cyrix
6x86 M II chip (no other description), so I definitely feel they are
practicing deceptive advertising at the least. TIA
   Yours,
   Charles M. Yates
