Do me a favor!  Go out, get the K5.  Put it in your motherboard, you'll have
to force it a bit, and blow it up!  Who knows, It might keep AMD from 
suing you for such slander!  BTW, ANYONE that sells an AMD K5 with a 486
motherboard is going to go out of business!  

BTW, what is the name of your company?
