and to add to the confusion, the IntelDX4 can also be run in clock doubled
mode (equivalent to a DX-2/100).  So, send it into that mode, with a
motherboard that can handle a 50MHz bus rate, and a memory subsystem that
can deliver data every 20ns. and you'll have a kick-but 486.  Unfortunately,
you'd have to build this motherboard yourself (I doubt any "respectable"
pc motherboard manufacture would stoop to the level of creating a
motherboard that would cost double or triple their competitor :-).
