    BK>>  Then Intel came out with upgrades for the CPU. I finally got a   
    BK>>  pentium overdrive chip, which ran at 83MHZ, but was 32 bit and   
    BK>>  beat the heck out of the 486DX100. Then I could watch live   
    BK>>  streaming video the size of a large postage stamp. Wow!   
      
    EV> 16MB of RAM was $540 USD in 1994, but later when the price   
    EV> lowered for TAM I got another 4 SIMMs and now have 32MB RAM.

    EV> made the Headlines that Intel didn't want to read.
