- I have been considering a purchase of a fast 486 system but I am
- overwhelmed by the options. One thing that concerns me, if I go the
- build it yourself route, is motherboard upgradability. Will a 33Mhz
- 486 board accept a 66Mhz DX2 chip without modification? What does this
- "overdrive" chip from Intel require from a motherboard?
