Compatibility and Performance

The QUICKCHIP 133 is capable of running 133MHz, however, the actual speed and perform-
ance delivered depends on your system’s bus speed. The QUICKCHIP will not work in systems
with  the  486  SLC  or  DLC  processors. The  following  chart  shows  how  the  QUICKCHIP  133
133MHz will perform based on the system’s bus speed and the QUICKCHIP’s clock multiplier
(3x or 4x).

The QUICKCHIP 133 uses clock-quadrupling technology which enables your computer to run
four times faster than the native 486 processor speed. At 133MHz, the QUICKCHIP 133 is rated
at Pentium-75 plus performance. The QUICKCHIP 133 features 16KB internal cache, a built-in
math coprocessor,and 32-bit internal and external processing running internally at 133MHz and
externally  at  33MHz. The  QUICKCHIP  133  is  a  convenient, high-performance  solution  for
increasing your computer’s CPU speed up to 250% over its current 486 processor. This upgrade
gives you the power and performance for today’s most demanding software applications.

The QUICKCHIP 133 is a chip-for-chip processor upgrade which installs directly into your exist-
ing processor socket, or Intel® OverDrive® socket. Many 486 computers use ZIF (zero-insertion-
force) sockets with a lever or retaining screw to make removing the CPU chip quick and easy.
