But I've only heard of it being used in high-speed systems like PC Brand's
386/33 or the Micro Generation 486/33.  If it's such an improvement (and
I've heard from several people that it truly is), why not use it for other
systems like the 386/25 or 386sx/20?

PC Brand raised their prices about $250 recently.  Grr.
