Very Computer

The subject says it all.  Has anyone had a negative experience with the
AMD DX4/120(or even the DX4/100 for that matter) with Linux?  I am
currently running a Intel DX2/66, and I haven't given up on the 486 line
yet.  Besides, with a Matrox Millenium and 16MB RAM my system is still
faster than some Pentiums.  I am looking for the best price/performance
upgrade.  The Intel DX4/100 goes for around $210, while the AMD DX4/100
goes for around $120, and the AMD DX4/120 for around $150.  I have heard
that the AMD DX4/120 is comparable to the Intel DX4/100 in speed, even
though it is about $60 dollars cheaper.  Anyone have any input on this?

: Calibrating delay loop.. ok - 60.45 BogoMips

Nice to hear, but: which Mainboard do you use ?
I've an AMD DX4/100 w. 50.xx BogoMips (That's OK, so far.)
and a GigaByte GA 486 IM Mainbboard (VIP-Board)
