First I assume you have a socketed non-clock-doubled 486 in 
that box. Anyway, make sure you get the right OverDrive(tm) processor.
You should be able to buy an Intel 486DX33ODPR processor (note the "R"
at the end : it matters) and replace your 486DX with it, and see a 
substantial perfoemance gain. I did exactly the above to a different
486 system, and it was just that easy.

However, to be sure, call DEC and ask them !

This isn't an official Intel post. No warantee, no guarantee.
