Hi All: Does anyone have any experience upgrading from a 486 to a Pentium Overdrive processor with regard to 3DS performance? I have a 486DX/2 now and am contemplating the upgrade to the new 63MHz Overdrive. I have heard that the faster FPU makes a big difference in the regular Pentium processors compared to the 486. In fact, since 3DS makes frequent use of the FPU, it is said that moving to a (60MHz) Pentium can give a minimum 4X speed improvement. Does this match the experience of people on this forum? I have heard that the faster FPU is also present in the Overdrive. Thanks in advance for any help, MattMan.
