Let's end the guessing about "what is the 486SX".  It's been in the press.

The i486SX is NOT a 16-bit version of the i486.  It is, simply put, an i486
with the FPU disabled.  If you buy a 486SX box, it will contain a socket for
an i487.  The i487 is just a full-scale i486.  When you put the i487 into your 
486SX box, it will disable the 486SX and take over.
