| |
i have a humble 486/66 which, for the most part, suits me just fine. however, i now have an application (under windows... ugh) which could *really* use a little more horsepower. it's not worth it to me to get a new motherboard, video card, a second simm etc, for just this app.
however... i was wondering if those $100 CPU replacement upgrades would do anything for me (like the Evergreen DX2 -> 5x86 upgrade).
- are these things compatible with linux (i'm on Red Hat 4.0 w/ 2.0.18; soon to move to RH 4.1 w/ 2.0.28...)?
- does anybody have any feel for what sort of speed improvement i might actually see with this thing?
thanks!
