I think you have that backwards. The IBM 486SLC is a knock-off
that has a bigger cache and NO FPU. I think IBM's agreement with
Intel prevented them from producing their own DX chips and this was
the compromise.The Intel 486SL is really a DX with added power
management and thus does have an FPU. The 750's have a 486SL,
not a 486SLC. That I'm sure of.
