- Hey you guys, you've got it all wrong.
- The PENTIUM can NOT be put into any of todays 486 main-boards.
-
- What you have seen is a cut down version of the Pentium, and
- it is called P24T. It is also called for "Pentium Overdrive",
- and it fits into an overdrive socket on the 486 main-board, if it
- has one.
- It has some of the features that the Pentium has, but is FAR FROM
- a Pentium.
-
- A main-board with a Pentium will cost a lot more than a 486MB.
