- Believe it when you see it. If I recall, Nexgen came into existence several
- years back in order to produce a high performance 486 clone. Well it kept
- being postponed, and finally cancelled. Now they are suposed to come out with
- a 586 clone before Intel releases the P5? I could be wrong but I seriously
- doubt it.
-
- These opinions are mine alone, I reserve the right to be dead wrong. I don't
- have (nor want) any affiliation with either Intel or Nexgen.
