- Ditto on that request. I'm extremely interested in this chip. My
- understanding is that it does not have an on-board math coprocessor; but
- I'm more interested in the cache and pipelining anyway. I'm running a
- clone motherboard with a very recent AMI BIOS. Any comments? Anyone
- who's done this upgrade?
