Just interjecting a very little known fact.  The AMD 5x86-133 is not the
fasted
486 ever made.  AMD made a very limited supply (50 actually) of 5x86 - 150
chips.  I had an opportunity to purchase one or more of these creatures but
didn't have the $$$ at the time.  When I went back to get one they were
already gone.

The 150s were made for a well known computer vendor but the vendor
decided that Pentium was the only way to go and scrapped their
486/5x86 - 150 project.

I am not writing this for sake of argument but for information purposes.
If you happen to come across someone who says they have a 150mhz 486
you can believe them.
