It's based on the DX/33, meaning that it is a clock-tripler. Intel chose the name "DX4" instead of "DX3" so that they can play the name game. Actually, a DX/33 is actually 33.33 MHz, so tripling the clock will give you 99.99 MHz, which is close enough to 100. >> Local bus video card, > Nope... and again, for a 486 computer, WHICH is better?

I believe there is no difference between VLB and PCI, performance-wise, on a 486. If you have the choice, however, go for the PCI. - Allen "Ninja" Kim
