Just as a point of semantics here, the DX4-100 is actually a clock-TRIPLED 
33MHz CPU.  Not 25MHz.  I'm told the reason Intel used DX-4 as opposed to DX-3 
is that some other company was using the DX3 notation.  To be strictly 
correct, all DX4-100 machines are actually DX3-99, but they're referred to as 
4-100s because dx3 was already in use.
