Hi Jim, 486 cpu's were manufactured in two voltages 3.3V and 5V. Older motherboards are 5V only, newer ones have jumper selectable 3.3 or 5. These jumpers are almost always silkscreen labeled. Installing a 3.3V CPU into a 5V board will destroy it.(the cpu) Installing a 5V CPU into a board with 3.3 selected won't hurt it, but it won't work. I saw new web tv boxes on sale for $145. Someone sticks a Zip drive into one of those puppies and adds a port for a decent keyboard and you might have something. I wonder what software those things run. I bet a 486 could waste what ever is in 'em. My old 486 and 386 are still in use.
