If the 486DX2-66 has a 33 MHz bus speed and a 66 MHz internal speed and the
486DX50 has a 50 MHz bus speed and a 50 MHz internal speed, which is
faster?  Does it depend on the application?  If so, which applications
(animation, multimedia, CAD, graphics, word-processing, spreadsheets, etc.)
would run faster on which CPU?  I want to know because I have a 486DX33
now, but my motherboard supports 33 and 50 MHz.  Which should I get?  What
other adjustments would I have to make if I upgraded my CPU.  BTW, my
motherboard is an ISA.
