I opened up my Presario 425 recently and I found out that the previous owner put an Intel 486 Overdrive DX20DP50 in it! Seeing as the main i486 CPU is surface-mounted, it is likely disabled.
What I am wondering is, what exactly is the Overdrive? Is it basically just a normal 486 CPU but with extra features and support for older boards? I just want to make sure I'm getting that "authentic 486 experience" 🤣
(also, is it, by chance, the reason Duke Nukem 3D runs so well on it?)
