- Readers,
-
- I would like to hear from other persons that have purchased systems or
- Mother Boards with the Cyrex 486DLC-33+FPU. I am contemplating a change from
- the 386SX-20 I now use and this processor sounds like a good performance per
- dollar option.
-
- There is the possibility for a 486DX2-66, but I will have to wait and
- see. I have also priced 486DX-50 system boards and given my fruthers I would
- purchase one of those. However the Cyrex chip is approximately half the price
- of Intels chips.
-
- Also, what kind of performance gain would I see from the processor I
- use now, to the Cyrex? I priced an Opti chipset system board from Hi Tech for
- 388.00. The 486DX-50 system board runs about 650.00.
-
- I appreciate any information I get, thank you. I can be reached via
- Email to Jeffd@hls.com or just reply on this sub. .s
