  Processor: Texas Instruments 486SX with a RISC Kernel. They upgrade 
by soldering out the old chip, and soldering in the new chip. No bios 
changes needed - you just get a few dos utilities to set the speed 
(8, 16, 25 or 50MHz) and to optimize the 8KB cache. 

Here is an example for the performance increase:

   My Dauphin now loads Winword 6.0 from scratch in 12.96 Seconds!!!! 
(WfW 3.11, 786kb cache, 6MB RAM,  no Stacker/doublspace, 32Bit 
optimized in Control Panel)

Feel free to forward this EMAIL to anyone.
