Hello there,

	I have the following questions:
1. What is the difference between the 486DX2 and the 486DX 50MHz?
   Doesn't the MHz speed tell you how many clock cycles the CPU
   can perform?
2. Usually, a PC (IBM compatible) requires that you have memory
   that can be 1M, 2M, 4M, 8M etc.....multiples of 2. Is that always
   the case for the PC's? Is that the case for the MACs also? Why is that
   the case?
3. Hooking an Apple printer to a PC would require I guess an adapter
   that would convert the Centronics Interface signals to the Apple
   Talk Interface signals? Is there such an adaptor and how is it 
   called, where can we find one, and approximate what is the price?
   Also, buying such a device what do we need to pay attention to?


Thanks,
