	As a note of info...
	During my visit in HK this x'mas, I have come across two incidences 
	of shops attempting to sell off Cyrix486dlc/slc based computers with
	the heading -- 486DX/SX. Both shops also tried to convince me that
	the 486dlc/slc chips are the same to 486DX/SX but just different blend.
	Deception or simply ignorance?
	Just a warning.


	Also a question...
	I have noted that in the IBM ThinkPad's ad, it offers an upgrade of
	'486slc2 50/25'. Is this 486slc2 to 486slc the same as comparing
	DX2 with DX? Or have I misread something?
