I've read the faq but there's no mention of chip specifics. Do i assume any chip is fine? the choices are: Intel 486DX-33 $390 AMD 486DX-40 $290 Cyrix 486DX-40 ? Intel 486DX2-66 $480 AMD 486DX2-66 $410 Cyrix 486DX2-66 ? Intel DX4-100 ? i'm particularly attracted to AMD. Any word of caution? please point me to any sources of info if you know. thanks! joe
