Hi everyone,

	I have recently purchased a 33Mhz 486 DX (optima) machine. I noticed in
the mother board users manual than the board has an upgrade socket for a
Weitek coprocessor. Could someone please explain to me what this is seeing that
the 486 DX has a built-in coprocessor anyway!

							Thanks in advance,
							
							Stephen
