Hello all. I have a thing I wanted to verify with the Intel gurus on the
net since someone is asking me this very question and I wanted to double
check before I put my foot in my mouth...

Is it true that a 50 Mhz 486 DX is a true 50 mhz chip all in one.
Whereas DX2 is just 2 25mhz 486s, one sitting in the CPU socket, the
second sitting in the Weitek math coprocesser socket?
Thank you.

Thomas.
