After posting my message on the 486-33 motherboards that
I had for sale on friday. I have had many reponses of
people concerned that these boards were not true 486 boards.
Most believed that the CYRIX chip that powers the board 
was the dls wich is a 'souped up' 386. They believed this 
because of the low asking price.

The 486-33DLC board that i am selling is powered by the
CYRIX 486-33DLC chip wich electrically identical to 
the intel 486-33DX chip. We performed many benchmarks
as well as application software testing on the board.
We found that the manufacturing compatibility claims
were true. And the board will run 100% dos, os/2, windows,
unix,xenix and pick operating systems.

To convince yourself on the performance equivalence
of this board to a 486-33DX intel board, check out these
test results.


These are the results we got when we ran MIPS.COM
on both boards:
