- An Intel promo sheet that some dealers are handing out promotes the
- OverDrive technology. There was a separate page for each of these:
- OverDrive upgrade for 486SX ("vacancy" area; evidently distinct from 487SX)
- OverDrive upgrade for 486DX (and not a DX2)
- OverDrive upgrade for 486DX2 (in the future)
-
- Could someone from Intel comment on this, as to whether I understood correctly.
- Man, things are getting complicated with all these chip variations (e.g.,
- also things like RapidCAD).
