Isn't replacing the entire motherboard a just as good
alternative than plugging in a new p24t (Pentium SX).  Sure
it might cost a bit more, but a new motherboard wouldn't have
the 32/64bit limitations a 486 motherboard would cause.
Just a thought.
BTW, do PCs with motherboards with the p24t socket cost more
than motherboards without the p24t socket already?
eg:Extra$(MotherBoard w/p24t socket) + p24t  =~(True P5 (Pentium) Motherboard? )
cost wise I mean?
