Nevertheless, the AMD DX4-100 was really only 3*33MHz, and the DX4-120 3*40MHz.Originally posted by Wombat
Funky,
I definitely had a DX4-133. 4x multiplier, at 33MHz, and that was stock, from AMD.
Also, I had an Aptiva that came with a passively-cooled Intel 486 SX2-50.

Actually, it was a marketing move <I>by</I> intel. They started the numbers first. The DX3 had a 2.5 multiplier, but never went to market. Intel did have thier own DX4 @ 100MHz(3x33).Originally posted by Greebe

Wow that was a fun little trip down memory lane. It kind of shows the dizzying amount of crap us techies have had to endure.(Read marketing BS ;>)
It also helps to put a little perspective on the current market today. We can see the same things happening. Just add some more zero's on the end of all those speeds.
