Another opinion on what you mean by true 64 bit. I suspect what you mean by true 64 bit is what is the size of the memory and data bus. A 486 uses a 32 bit memory and data bus. Intel didn't go to a 64 bit memory and data bus until they came out with the Pentium line of processors. Hence a 486 is definitely not a true 64 bit. I don't know if you can over clock your motherboard. But perhaps you can upgrade your computer by installing either an Intel or AMD DX4 or an AMD X5-150 CPU. However, to do this you will definitely need a manual for your motherboard as you will need to set some jumpers on your motherboard to get your motherboard to work with a different CPU.
