Title: Buy this only if you have no other choice
Product review: This part will allow your 486 to run faster but it is based on the ancient AMD5x86 which is one of the worst CPU cores ever. It has dozens of bugs AMD has abandoned and will never fix. If you run mostly DOS programs you will probably be fine. If you run Windows 3.1 then you are just asking for trouble. Don't even think about puting Win95 (or above) on this thing. As a rule of thumb this CPU will run slower than a Pentium 60Mhz.For a better value search around for the cheapest Celeron or K6-2 based system you can find. I have seen complete systems with 15" monitors for $400 new in stores. Try www.pricewatch.com and search around - you can find refurbished systems for even less (offer friends $100-$200 for an old Pentium or Pentium II and I bet you find a taker and a PC that actually can run newer software).You won't be sorry.
