'Cos I ain't got much money. Well, not enough to buy a Pentium board anyway ;-)

Going by my local suppliers' prices, a 60/66MHz Pentium board and a 60MHz 
Pentium chip is 2.5 times the price of a 486DX2/66 board and chip. I understand 
that the increase in performance in this case would not really be that much 
either, so the 486 seems the best value for someone on a tight budget like me.

Overclocking to get more performance would be nice, but isn't actually 
essential for me.
