Hello Toby.
To answer your questions:

Processor: Texas Instruments 486SX with a RISC Kernel. They upgrade
by soldering out the old chip, and soldering in the new chip. No bios
changes needed - you just get a few dos utilities to set the speed
(8, 16, 25 or 50MHz) and to optimize the 8KB cache.
Here is an example for the performance increase:
My Dauphin now loads Winword 6.0 from scratch in 12.96 Seconds!!!!
(WfW 3.11, 786kb cache, 6MB RAM, no Stacker/doublspace, 32Bit
optimized in Control Panel)
Feel free to forward this EMAIL to anyone.
Said.
