I am curious though as to why rmview says that its a 486. > the gamma version of warp with windows said that the award bios one was a 586, but it said it > only once.

Well curiousity got the better of me and I made the startup disk for the gamma version of os2 with winos2 and checked what rmview said the system was. Well its a 586!!!! Which kind of makes sense. The board bios is dated oct '94 which is about the time warp for windows came out, which means it most likely wouldnt have known about my new motherboard.
