Agreed when the 586 came out by AMD for 486 boards they were about $85 
compared to $165 for INTEl 486 DX2-100. The 586 was way better than the 
100 and as good as a pentium 75 clocked normally or a pentium 90 when 
clocked at 166. THis was pushing 486 technology as far as it goes.. Value 
for money as one did not have to buy a pentium MB for this cheap at the 
time alternative. THis was a fatastic chip and enabled me to wait for the 
K5 - 166 to come down in price. THis baby overclocks to 200 P performance 
on an 83 Mhz bus easily. Again love my AMD...

Long live AMD....
