- I have found out that the 486 DX2 66 Mhz chip that Gateway will be shipping
- with their just announce system is the "Overdrive chip" rather than a
- physical replacement for the 486-33. This chip has a built-in heat sink.
- Does anyone know of any ramifications of using the overdrive chip versus a
- replacement of the 486DX-33 cpu with a 486DX2-66?
