I'd really hate to discuss other computers besides the Amiga on this
newsgroup.  Nonetheless, your ignorance and arrogance make me feel obligated
to post this follow-up.

Do you realize there are currently *two* types of 486SLC?  One made by
Cyrix (like you said), the made by IBM.  486SLC66/2 (like the guy
has mentioned) is indeed a 486DX/66 clone (not a 386SX).  It has a full blown
32bit external bus.

I hope you will do some more research before laughing at people next time.
Thank you.

Yours Sincerely,
Kelvin
