To straighten out some of the confusion over the i486 family...

i486DX	- 32-bit data bus, 32-bit address bus, built in FPU, built in 8k cache.

i486SX	- Like an i486DX without the FPU. In other words, it still has the
	  32-bit busses and the 8k cache.

i487SX	- A flavor of the i486DX which can be plugged into the performance
	  upgrade socket of an i486SX machine to add floating point computation
	  hardware. Yes, this part essentially is an i486DX which shuts off the
	  original i486SX when it is plugged into a system.

i486DX2	- An i486DX with a clock doubling circuit, meaning that the chip
	  internally runs at twice the system board's frequency. This part is
	  currently only being sold to OEMs.

Overdrive Processor
	- This part is in effect the i487SX2 somebody was wishing for in a
	  previous post. It is like an i486DX2 with the pin-out of an i487SX.

I hope this helps. I know our naming strategy is confusing, but unfortunately
nobody asked my opinion.
