Ted, Re: "Does anyone know where MyTurn.com is getting these old AMD 486 chips?" Fab 14/15? amd.com 5,000 WPW @ 0.7 micron must be used for something and perhaps they squeeze in some 486 along with the network and comm fab stuff they do? Why would someone sell 486 class? Are the chips sufficiently smaller that they offer more value or is this just real old equipment that keeps on working? Up to 750,000 is potentially a lot of 486 chips. -PT

tejek, must be the SC400 series. An embedded chip. Remember, embedded is where old architectures go to die. Heck, the 80186 still lives on in the embedded world...

Re: Does anyone know where MyTurn.com is getting these old AMD 486 chips? Could they be using these these for PCs? amd.com The ÉlanSC520 microcontroller is the newest addition to the E86™ family of embedded microcontrollers based on the industry-standard x86 architecture. The device integrates a 133-MHz Am5x86® processor core with 16Kbytes of write-back cache, PC/AT-compatible peripherals, an SDRAM memory controller, a PCI bus interface, a general-purpose bus interface, and new AMDebug™ technology to enable economical in-circuit emulation (ICE) and system-level debug.
