- Some clues: A 486DX2-50 cpu runs internally on 50MHz, but externally on 25 MHz,so
- if you compare the things that depend on the bus speed, like reading memory,
- using disks, etc. you'll find this will have become a twink slower, but
- heavy calculations will become faster.
-
- Video speed also depends on the bus speed, so the video also gets slower.
-
- Just some clues,
