I am running an AMD 5x86 133 (with 40Mhz bus clock so its is running at 160Mhz)

I am very happy with its performance and pgcc helps also.
It reports to the system as a 486. I havent tried seeing if it likes
the Pentium bcopy as of yet.

Got it and a PCI 486 mohterboard from PC importers for $244 including shipping.
