2018年12月13日 · Just completed my new 486 computer with a 133mhz AMD 5x86, 32mb of ram (will probably add more), Sound Blaster 16, and an old Seagate 800mb hard drive. Overall this is the fastest 486 I've ever used, and it's nearly as good as my Pentium 166 machine.

2015年3月12日 · For 486 class PC it's enough to inspect POST screens, setup utility, video BIOS banner and list of ISA P'n'P and PCI devices. So just watching closely while the PC tries to boot up should give you enough info as what chipset it is and what video card it is.
