- I don't know about staying away from a DX2. It would come down to
- a personal choice. A DX2 50 Mhz has the chip's internal clock speed
- pushed up to 50 Mhz while the rest of the motherboard operates at 25 Mhz
- (ie 1/2 the speed). This is still a good system. However a DX2 50Mhz may
- or may not be faster than a DX 33 Mhz. That would depend on what
- applications are being run. Now with a 66 Mhz DX2 that should be faster
- that a DX 33 Mhz. Actually it all gets a little confusing. I personally
- decided to go with the 486 DX2 33 Mhz (the board is capable of handling a
- 486DX2 50Mhz or a 486DX2 66Mhz or a 486DX Mhz50 chip). I felt that this
- would suffice for a while....
