<Daniel: What 486 class chip was remotely competitive with a 200mhz Pentium? For that matter, what 486 class machine was competitive with a P133, which predates MMX by a lot?>

It was not without reason that I put a "really" in there ("really" pulled away) ;)

Taking the easier of your two challenges, the AMD 150MHz 486 beat the P133 at quite a lot of things. Well, "quite a lot" is perhaps a bit strong, but it did do very well compared with the P133.

Did you know that a 100MHz 486 is enough to play high quality MP3s on? (you need a specially compiled version)
