NO NO NO

the 5x86-133 from AMD is a fast 486dx4-133 33mhz bus 133mhz internal

the 5k86-133 AKA K5 from AMD is a fast pentium class 586 equivilent in
performance to a  P5-133...the AMD k5-133 however runs at 100mhz
internal and 66mhz(i believe) bus.

check out alt.comp.benchmarks for more info on the subject.
