More like 386SX speeds! And Cyrix incompatibility with all sorts of
hardware and software! Not to mention your bus is only _16_ bit!!! Not
even Vesa!!! And the machine's motherboard is still only running at 33Mhz.

At least we Amiga owners know what we're buying! Not having the wool
really pulled over our eyes!

Blistering! ha! The only place you'll have blisters is on your backside
waiting for your machine to catch up.
