Anyone? Let's see if I can kill all these birds with one post. IBM 486SLC: used in the TP500, 700, and 720. Comes in "normal" and clock-doubled versions. The 500 and 720 use the clock doubled versions. 24-bit memory bus (16MB max), 16-bit data bus, 32-bit internal, no FPU, 16k cache. IBM 486BL: aka "Blue Lightning." Used in the TP510 and maybe the TP425. Comes in "normal" and clock-doubled/tripled versions. 32-bit memory bus (4GB max), 32-bit data bus, 32-bit internal, no FPU, 16k cache. Before you ask, the TP425 is like a TP350, only it's sold at schools. Intel 486SL: discontinued, used in the TP750, only came in 25MHz and 33MHz flavors. 32-bit memory bus, 32-bit data bus, 32-bit internal, with FPU (except a version used in the TP350), 8k cache, on-board power management and motherboard features. Intel 486DX, DX2: The standard, used in TP755 and TP360 (? SX version). 32-bit memory bus, 32-bit data bus, 32-bit internal, with FPU, 8k cache. Intel 486DX4: Clock tripled, 32-bit memory bus, 32-bit data bus, 32-bit internal, with FPU, _16k_ cache. Costs more than a TP500. :-) TP755 only. > ________________________________ Randy Whittle whittle@usc.edu > | Y'know, Tuna just | USC School of Business (Fight on, 'SC > | doesn't taste the same | (My opinions are mine, but > | since they took the | right, they should > | Dolphin out! | > -------------------------------- You should try Dolphin sometime.
