I dunno what to say...my brother's 486/33 doesn't even use fast mode,
he uses smooth full screen!  Mayeb you're BIOS settings are
whacked...you gotta make sure the wait states are low and stuff.
Maybe you have a naturally slow motherboard?  Dunno, fool around with
it.  A 486/33 should never beat out a 66 with a game like
Pitfall(processor intensive).
