Post subject: Pentium OverDrive for 486 Motherboard |
 |
|
Did anyone here ever own one of those (a Pentium OverDrive for 486 motherboard)? If yes, please answer 2 questions:
1. Is it amazingly fast?
2. Is it as fast as a Pentium 60?
When I owned a 486, my aunt owned a computer store and she offered it to me for base price (about $250.00 CAD). I declined and later got a new Pentium motherboard with AMD K5 PR166.
That's why I'm curious about those relatively rare chips. |

| I would bet that a 486/133 running at 160 (40x4) would be faster then a pentium overdive |

| Even though the PO had 32 KB cache (normal P1s had 16 KB, the Pentium MMX had 32 KB, most 486s had 8 KB )? Do you know how much cache that chip had (Not motherboard cache, the cache built into the CPU itself). |

3 Pentium OverDrives! You must be rich or something! 
Thanks anyway, but I don't even own a 486 motherboard anymore. The technician who upgraded my computer kept my old mobo in return for doing the upgrade work. |

I have alot of old equipment because I didnt bother selling them off when I upgraded (they come in handy now that I have the retro bug). |

No, the cream cheese has really been around since Wallace defeated the English at Stirling Bridge in 1297. Don't ask me why they have it...  |

And who told you that?
I think after all that time it would disintegrate into dust/powder by now. |
