I recently picked up a IBM PC 350-466DX. I was wondering if anyone knew anything about these. It has a 66MHz 486 and I'd like to know what my upgrade options are if any. The jumpers say it'll support a DX4, but I want to know if it'll support a faster AMD chip, an AMD 133MHz would be great. If anyone knows about these, please let me know. Thanks.

5x86 AMD cpus often work with the jumpers set to 3.3v and 2x multiplier (converted by the chip itself to 4x). Though some boards (like my AP43) won't like it that way ... on my AP43 I had to update the BIOS in order to make the 5x86 to work, otherwise the PC crahsed after the POST screen

Pentium Overdrive 83 MHz is also an option.
