 Hi all,

 Does anybody have experience with either AMD or Cyrix 486DX cpu's?

 Both are claimed to have coprocessors and be pin compatible with
 Intel's parts; I'm shopping for a cpu to complete a "spare" system
 to be made from extra parts, so performance isn't paramount, but
 it's has to work 8-)]
 
thanks for reading!
