Jay,
This is the world of marketting not engineering. The 486SX only "did"
something worth money until you bought the 487SX. After that it has no use
and cannot be wasted. It no longer has any real value.
As to why Intel brought out the 486SX, This allows Intel to reduce the
price on SOME 486s to compete with AMD without lowering the price on ALL
the 486s. This way they can maintain market share with some systems and
still maintain profits on the others. "It ain't pretty but it works"
