A comment on A Brief History of Cyrix.

My first PC was a 486SLC. It ran games such as Strike Commander and Doom extremely poorly. But that was the only 486 we could afford.

A few months after the purchase we figured out we got scammed. That was not a 486. That was a 386 with 1KiB cache.

I never managed to forgive Cyrix after that.

I bought one of those as well as it was cheap at the time but the CPU is really tiny which was smaller than any other CPU and it ran everything really slowly I bet it was a 386 as well. Had it for a couple months and sold it.
