The IBM Blue Lightning is just a Cyrix chip.  I have only ever sold one 
system with that chip and to date my experience has not been good.  I 
don't know the make of the mother board they are using but I can guess 
from the fact that they are offering a discount price, using a discount 
chip that they are probably also using a discount mother board.  When 
buying a computer you should pay close attention to your mother board and 
cpu ie don't buy the discount variety.  BTW did you ask them WHO????????? 
repairs this "computer" and where is the repair depot located?  I know 
someone who got a great deal for BD and ended up shipping her computer to 
Texas for repairs.  Long wait for the return and shipping costs on top of 
that.

As for the upgrade to P75, careful with this one cuz pentium mother 
boards are 66MHZ throughout and 486 mother boards are 33mhz throughout.  
Upgrading to a P75 would not produce the same resulting speed if you 
bought a pentium mother board with a P75 chip.


8 mb of memory at $400 is not a good price $338 is.

Stay away from $15 mice unless they are a true MicroSoft Mouse.

If you're paying $19 for speakers chances are they payed $5 for them.  
How many WATTS?  $40 for reasonable quality 50 WATT speakers is a better 
deal.

Sounds like the price is right but the system is not!
