>>Can you tell me if the board I have is true 64-bit or not?<< Do you mean will it cache 64 MB RAM? This bios site might be a start. It would be nice to know the mobo model. Note the bios numbers when you boot the machine at the time you see the RAM count. Post them and check out this site. ping.be Zeuspaul

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.
