So, while going through the jumper settings on my motherboard in order to make sure everything was good, I discovered that it had a CPU voltage configuration, and has settings for 3.3 and 5v CPU. Now, I have a 5V 486-DX in it now, But I have a spare 3.3V AMD 100MHZ. Now, it list jumper settings for 100MHZ CPUs and the 3.3v, so is it possible I could run this powerful chip without frying it, or am I missing something here?

The Motherboard can be found here, and the voltage jumper setting are at the bottom of the page.

If you really doubt the prints on the board you can always grab a multimeter and measure the actual voltage.
