No, DX4-100 ALWAYS means it's a clock-TRIPLED chip.  It has a 33Mhz
bus.  No one sells a DX4 chip that is clock quadrupled.  Stupid Intel
started the DX4 thing because they couldn't copyright processer
numbers so they called their DX4-100 the IntelDX4-100.  But it's NEVER
been a clock-quadrupled chip, always clock-tripled.
