The best way to speed up an intel 80486-100DX4 is to find the clock DOUBLING pin, shorting this high/low causes the CPU to either clock triple or clock double the incomming clock. If your motherboard is designed to handle 50MHz which some are then set the clock jumpers for 50MHz and the CPU jumper to clock double to give you a within tolerance (and design specification) 80486-100DX2. Although the CPU throughput is no faster the memory bandwidth (and how fast the on chip cache can be loaded) is significantly faster. Also if you're buying a DX4 CPU think hard about paying the extra for the intel part as it has 16K of on chip cache where the others only have 8K. Roger Walker.
