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. --- "K.
