A Brief History of Cyrix

I attended a charter school that got some kind of deal of cyrix based windows pcs. It was no end of headaches and compatibility issues. The school chronically mismanaged money and it seems like cyrix was being pushed in edu as low cost.

I had the same experience with Cyrix processors (6x86). They were not suitable as a drop in replacement for Intel processors.

Oddly enough, I also had the pleasure of using them at a fiscally mismanaged charter school.

At my first high school they bought pcs with the MediaGX for their 'lab'. Terrible machines.
