About $70 for a MII-300 vs $110 for K6-2 300. Not much really. Unless Cyrix were to do something radical I _never_ plan to purchase one again. Still it does what I need and was a good buy at the time for one of my workstations. Hmmm... and it's _still_ in my production server. How ironic. But I'm slow to upgrade hardware when it meets the need.
