They also spent some effort marketing the DX4 as a low end alternative to the Pentium. It was possible to buy/build DX4 machines. Trouble there is the same as any other low end offering of the time - it got steamrolled by better technology coming down in price as quickly as it did. The window of opportunity for anything low end was not that large.
