[running an AMD 5x86 133 at 160MHz...]

Uh, I don't think so...
I don't know what tests you were running, but for real world stuff,
the 5x86 at 133MHz is about a P75, just like they claim.
That would put the 160MHz chip at about a P90. That is assuming you
didn't have to add an extra wait state to your cache and/or your
memory to run it at 40MHz, as opposed to 33MHz (which many people
might have to do).

A good cheap fast upgrade for existing 486 systems, yes.
But a decent Pentium will be faster.
