Hi Roy! :-) RJT> There's something different about the 133? That's what I'm running RJT> in this box I'm typing on now. AMD part, they call it a RJT> "5x86/133", although I believe it has some other markings on it as RJT> well, P75 or somesuch. The AMD 5x86/133 uses a different CPU core than AMD's other 486 chips. The "P75" is meant to indicate that the application performance of the chip is roughly equivalent to a Pentium running at 75 MHz. RJT> I can't imagine it'd be easy to make *anything* that runs at those RJT> speeds! This is RF, and fairly high frequency RF at that! Yep, puts a lot of additional burden on chip design because at such speeds, you have to be careful that stuff like the different bits on a memory bus interface have very similar ways to travel, otherwise you're going to have all kinds of interference and different bits arriving at different times.
