Hi Julian,

# Only certainty is: AMD chips are Not always plug compatible.

	I 100% agree -- not always compatible; not to mention the fact
	that early Enhanced Am486 chips were ummm... say, crap,
	and non-enhanced ones generally sucked, too -- compared to Intel.

	But just now wer'e speaking about (comparatively new)
	AMD 5x133 chip.  That's plain different story. _This_
	particular chip is really nice, do you agree?

-- 

	With best regards -- Andrew Stesin.
