Did Intel add any new instructions to the x86 line when they made the 486?
I assume they did, but I don't know what they are.  Besides the on-board FPU
and cache business, did they add any interesting architectural features?
Again I presume they did, but I don't know what they are.  I'm not up on my
architecture stuff, sorry.

Thanks in advance,
