- I heard that the 486 could get up to 400 deg Celcius if the appropriate program
- was run (one designed to turn on as many transistors as possible) I am
- skeptical about the number 400 but needless to say it does run hot. Many VARs
- and OEMs have had problems designing clones simply because of the heat problem.
-
- And the 586 is supposed to run even hotter!! Isn't that awful?
