Karl,

I have never purchased a Tiger Direct Kit but in
fairness to Tiger, who doesn't employ me, the blame of
naming the system as a 300 Mhz system should lie
clearly upon the shoulders of Cyrix, who is now owned
by Via, www.via.com.tw. They used a PR-rating on their
chips. Yes, their chips ran at a lower clock speed but
were to function, in business applications, similar to
a Pentium II with the specified clock speed.

When looking at "kits" with real clock speed stick to
AMD and Intel processors.
