- Check out the SNI RM200. The machine is equipped with PCI and EISA
slots and has everything a normal machine needs onboard. Last time
I checked the price was competitive with SNI's similar equiped ia32
machines.
- A second hand Indy still makes a very nice video toy.
- A R5000 family CPU can be as low as $29, far cheaper than a Pentium.
- Linux/MIPS is currently primarily used in embedded devices and competing
with per copy licensed operating systems like pSOS and Windows CE, less
for desktop machines.
