The demand for these 5V 486DX2-80 CPUs has far exceeded my expecations!
I am order a bunch of these for future orders. I've been told by
Cyrix that they have stopped producing new 486 wafers since a few months
ago and so when the inventories in the supplier channels are gone, that's
it no more 486s. They are converting their fab lines to maek the newer
586 and 686 processors.

These are the only 5V 486 CPUs around since AMD and Intel have
long stopped making 5V CPUs. This is nice since you won't need to
get the 3V converters for the older 486 motherboards that only
support 5V. Also, no heat sink or fan is needed since the Cyrix 486
includes a built-in CPU heat sink. Finally, no special jumpers
are needed since the CPU defaults to write-through cachee mode.
But if your board can take advantage of the Cyrix 8K write-back
cache you can get a 10-15% performance boost.

If your system's CPU is soldered in and you have a separate upgrade
socket be sure there is a jumper or BIOS setting to disable the existing
CPU and to enable the upgrade socket as the Cyrix does not have the
extra 169th pin to do this.

Finally to take advantage of the DX2-80mhz your system must be capable
of generating a 40mhz system clock. Otherwise, on a 33mhz
system the CPU can run as a DX2-66 and on a 25mhz system, it can
run as a DX2-50.
