Question of the Day! by kickstart2007-03-05 00:00:04
  we used to have turbo switches on computers by buzzin2007-03-05 00:59:25
    Assuming you meant 486 SX/DX: by bwkaz2007-03-05 04:08:04
      no...386 :) by buzzin 2007-03-05 06:47:01
I once upgraded from SX to DX by simply adding the DX coprocessor.
I don't even remember what the speed of that was....all I know is that I sold that computer...something I never did after that.
486s I gave away, the rest either died, got given away, or are still in my closet somewhere..

486 also had DX, DX2 and DX4 in their names....simply a multiplier for the bus speed (eg 486DX2 66, ran on a 33 bus speed I believe...).
My last 486 was a 486DX4 100 :)
