Anyone know what the current 486 rev. is, C0, B6, or B5?  
What are the differences?  

Was it a rumor, or was Intel really replacing cpus due to defects in 
the mask; if they were, are they still doing that?  How would I go 
about getting the current rev. if in fact they are doing this?

Printed on the bottom of my 486 are the numbers:
99393378CD
GB5     51
 ^^ Am I being too presumptious when I assume that this means rev. B5.
