(i.e., time make world on both) Well, I just rebooted my ASUS SP3G after doing a close examination of its internals, with the goal to find out whether the AMD 486/133 (also known as AMD 5x86) will work. Guess it will do! AMD seems to have gone back to Intel conventions regarding the positions of CLKMUL and WB/WT pins. Only difference is, that the 2x/3x jumper becomes a 4x/2x jumper now :) According to some reports I read, the 5x86 is not significantly faster than the 486DX4/120, but it has the advantage to work well on PCI only mother boards, which prefer a 33MHz bus clock (and don't like a 40MHz clock at all :-) The 5x86 seems to be available at some $129 single quantity. Didn't ask for a DX4/120 price, since that chip can't be used in my system ...
