That's not quite true, Joe.  The AMD 5x86/133 wholesales for around the $68
mark (tax paid) while the Cx586/133 is only marginally more expensive at
~$89, which is certainly not high enough to justify an asking price of $350
for a 486-class motherboard and CPU, especially when a low-end 430VX board
and IBM 6x86/120 (P150+) can be bought for almost exactly the same price.

Regards, Bill
