For most DOS applications 486 is kind of "numbercruncher" - and, besides,
if you use Intel 486 CPU you'll get fanless "silent PC" (AMD 486 requires
fan; I mean at least these faster 100/120 MHz versions, nut sure what about
slower ones). Having, say, 32 MB RAM at your disposal - what more you can
need for DOS?

Today typically we've got around 32 GB RAM in our machines - 1000x more -
just to move bloat, created using "modern technologies", back and forth
within that vast space
