Unlike the author, back in the day I would have preferred a 486DX50 to the DX2-66. 50MHz bus interface (including to the graphics card) instead of 33MHz

- antod 2y agoMy first job was AutoCAD drafting on a DX50 with 16MB. Quite high specced in the early 90s. Not sure I would've noticed the difference compared with a DX2 though.
- fabiensanglard 2y agoCan you elaborate why? I understand the bus speed difference but the benchmark I remember always gave the 66Mhz winning over the 50Mhz.
- Narishma 2y agoWere those benchmarks with the DX-50 or the DX2-50?
- fabiensanglard 2y agoDX2-66 vs DX-50. A DX2-50 obviously lose to a DX-50.
