- Don't believe anything until you've seen the 486DLC working by yourself.
-
- I have a machine based on a Cyrix 486SLC-25Mhz and it runs at the same rate of
- a 386DX-40, sometimes faster, sometimes slower, it depends on the task.
-
- Note that I'm not refering on benchmarks but on actual performance "feel". Try
- yourself working sometime with a 386-40 and then with a Cyrix one and tell me
- which one feels faster.
-
- Since this is only a SLC-25 I'll guess that the DLC-33 is even faster.
