	That very well may be true. I did some testing on my
	486-33 vs a 386-20 temperatures. The 486 temperature inside
	the case was 30-40 degrees warmer than the outside(ambient)
	temperature. The 386-20 was only 20 degrees warmer. I never
	had any problems with the motherboard or chip, but the
	other components(disk controller, hard drives) started acting
	flaky until I installed a $99 FanCard inside, no, no more problems.
