Doug,

Replaced the original CPU with socket then used a 5V to
3.3V converter adapter with Intel 486DX4-100 writethrough type.

My, OS/2 fly, memory checks guns through about 2.5 times as fast and
video feel is much better. HD is really now is neckbottle at same
transfer rate as before on DX33, when I have finanical means, replace
that HD with used decent HD and finish the memory to 16MB.

Ram cost me about $50 a pair new and I modified them for presence
sense line setup, not hard only needs to add or remove soldered
shorting thingys or piece of one or two strands off a wire.

I suggest if you want to, find someone who does SMD rework that has
hot air rework station to pull the CPU off. That is preferred method
then clean out the holes, put in a top-quality 168 pin socket like
AMP and go!

PS:
Can use AMD 5x86-133 in WT mode and Intel OverDrive Processor
Ready has 168 pin, (not OverDrive Processor which is 169 pin type)
And most DX2 processors (not Cyrix please!)

PSS: Hold on the net card I assure you I will get another $7 US at
end of month to add to the $20 US dollar that I got from my birthday.
