I don't think my 701 (486-75) was that The reason I mentioned the motherboard speed was because with the Pentiums, Intel started doing all sorts of strange things: clock doubling, tripling, 2.5x-ing. I don't know all the clock multiples, but if you think about a clock-doubled 486/50, and a tripled 486/75, you can see how the latter will be less than 1.5 times faster than the former. In fact, I think a doubled 486/66 is faster than the tripled 486/75 for some functions. -- John H.
