: >Is it possible to replace the 50MHz 486DX chip on a 486/50 mommyboard with a : >66 MHz DX/2?? I am thinking of replacing my CPU, but I don't want to replace : >my entire motherboard if I don't have to. Thanks. : Nope. I wouldn't do it. A 50Mhz "system" is preferrable to a 33Mhz "system" with a clock-doubled chip. If there is a difference, it definitely wouldn't be worth the cost. Save your money and buy a Pentium based system (or a Cyrix 586... or a NextGen 586...???)
