I just replaced my dad's 486DX-33 with a 83Mhz Overdrive. The Norton SI score 
is 178. Windows User Benchmarks 1.0 give:

CPU    30.0
MEM    18.0
VDU    45.0 (VLB Cirrus 5428 at 1024x768x256)
H/D    44.0 (IBM 170Mb on a PINE VLB EIDE controller)
WIN    20.0
O/A    26.6

These seem to beat most 486DX4-100 scores. 

I got it from Simply Computers for 189ukp ex. vat on 0181 523 4020.
