Like the Motorola 68040, the "dx2" '486s run at twice the speed internally. Thus, a "'486dx2/66" is a 486/33 running at 66Mhz inside the chip, which will speed things up a bit. Not 2x, but... You could also call a 68040/33 a "68040dx2/66" if you wanted, but Motorola has never tried to make the 2x internal speed thing a marketing point. IMHO, a more honest approach. -- -------------------========================================------------------- Chris Herborth cherborth@semprini.tdkcs.waterloo.on.ca
