- I saw a topic here on Cyrex vs Intel, but it faded before I saw
- any discussion.
-
- The question is, I nkow I can save about $300 ny choosing a Cyrex
- 486/87DLC-33 over an Intel 486-33. What I don't know is what
- I'm giving up, besides maybe 10% performance penalty.
-
- I've also heard that there's an incompatibility with PCTools
- Backup.
-
- Anyone have any insight?
-
- Thanks.
