: Note also that many motherboards don't correctly support the P5-83, as I : learnt to my significant annoyance. What was going to be a cheap-ish : upgrade became total hell. : : $600 later I'm wishing I'd been able to get one of the AMD parts. OK. So I should look into the AMD chip rather than the P5-83. My motherboard claims to be "Pentium Overdrive Ready" so there may not be a big problem there. However, I purchased it a long time before the Pentiums were even out, so maybe it doesn't do it well. I take it then the amd chip is pin compatbile with the 486 I have and that there will be *NO* problems in pulling one out and putting the other in? What kind of performance increase should I expect? Say on a make world and also on CPU bound things. Warner
