I hope that I am posting to the best group.  I recently heard that the 486 chip
is headed for the real world.  Can anyone forward a summary of info or just 
here?  What are the major differences with the 386?  What likely cost increase
will there be or is this ultimately destined to be a PC CPU?  How many years 
before production runs are on line?

Many thanks,
