You're right---I had an AMD 5x86 chip in that box.
-spc (and I knew it was around 150MHz ... )
The other side of the coin is that the 2.6Gh
machine sitting below my
desk
can do things that my old system (a 150MHz 486
with 32M RAM) would die
trying to do
Don't think 486's ever reached this speed. I know AMD released a 133MHz
version (the AM 5x86) and that 150MHz & 160MHz were planned but not (I
believe) ever released.
