- Which is the ``better'' machine: a 486-50, or a 486-33 with clock
- doubling so the CPU seems to run at 66MHz? The 50MHz board will be noisier and
- more expensive; is there any disadvantage to running your bus at 33MHz?
- DMA transfers will not get any faster.
-
- Anyone who owns one of these machines, please comment on their reliability
- and performance.

- Thanks very much,
