My 486 motherboard has a non-removable 486 sx-25 chip, and an empty overdrive socket (socket 1).
The best choice would be to get hold of an overdrive CPU, and insert it into the empty, waiting socket.
To save money I would like to use a 486 DX2-66 CPU available to me for the upgrade. The motherboard supports this speed.
Can I put the 168-pin 486 dx2 in the 169-pin overdrive socket? Will it fit, will it work? (doesn't have it yet, cannot test).
Option 2: Is it risky to de-solder the sx-chip and insert the dx2 chip in its place?
EDIT: This is a Compaq Presario 425 mother board.
