Do the am486 and intel486 CPUs pay the same? I've seen a couple places paying less for the am486. From what I understand they r pretty much identical.

they take them as the same, just make sure the 'x486' label is visible.

Thanks. That's good to know. I checked prices on a couple sites. One was payin 120/lm for i486 and 60/lb for am486. Didn't make any sense to me cuz if I'm not mistaken and used Intelsat blueprints and stuff to make the am486

sorry, i may have jumped to a conclusion when you said 486... does this chip have a gold cap on the front or the back? if it does not, then it will probably go for a cheaper price... when you said 486, i was just assuming it had a gold cap on it.

and to be thorough, it also needs to have gold legs/pins.

Yeas. Gold cap and gold pins. Identical to i486sx2 just says am486dx4-100 and another one says am486dx4-66 if that matters.

Yes am38X and am48X CPUs go as 386/486

The only exceptions in am 3/4 class are the am489 which has no cap and goes in standard pentium ceramic (and any that had their cap removed).
