Hi,

	I bought a UMB U5S cpu (an 486 SX clone) several days ago - a real 
bargain (NT$1,300 = ~US$48). It runs faster than 486DX-33. 

	Anyway, it is said it doesn't support any 32-bit OS, such as Linux
, OS/2 and NT. It only supports Windows 3.1. Actually, I have tried it with
FreeBSD 1.0 and it works. Now I wonder if FreeBSD 2.0 works with it ( I am
still waiting for the CD-ROM to install). If it doesn't, I am gonna sell it.
