Someone here is selling Nexgen 586 CPU/Board sets. I was thinking of
investing in one because I've never seen one before. Were there many made?
Not classic I know, but maybe more obsolete than some 10 year old computers
perhaps?

Nx586 is the direct lingeage to AMD K5 cpu series. So you got some
piece of history there! AMD had to buy NextGen because their K5 was
dragging it's boot too long.
BTW, that set requires motherboard designed expressly for these
Nx586 set.

No idea, how many were made. Personally I wouldn't get one as an
investment, on the other hand if you've got a use for it...

Now this comment I like!!! It sums up my feelings about the collectibility
of x86 based systems designed to run Microsoftian OS's.

Well, the NextGen is (was) a quite remarkable step. And for
PCs, I'm already starting to aquire some early Pentiums.
Dual P60 server systems _are_ already vanishing.
Anyway, what kind of Nx586 boards are offered ?
