That's because it's only 25Mhz. ;P The 40Mhz CPU and bus speed that makes the IIfx "wicked fast" also makes the 386DX/40 "wicked fast", for a 386. ;) The 486 really didn't come into it's own until the DX2/66. IMHO, the maximum potential of the 040 was never even approached. Too bad there never was an 040 running at 100Mhz on a 50Mhz bus. There was a 486 like that but it was rare, mainly because there were (expletive) few motherboards that were stable at 50Mhz. But wow, were they fast in their (short) day. Hmm, if only there was an alternate universe where Apple kept on with the 68k CPU line.... ;) A 2.2Ghz 68090? ===== http://www.junkscience.com "All the Junk that's fit to Debunk!" __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
