Well, I guess Intel hasn't yet readied the 486/40 chip.  But I'm sure
it will soon follow.  IBM has already announced planned upgrade paths
to 50Mhz 486 on the model 90 and 95.  Things are rocketing along.

I'm very impressed by Gateway's no frills, provide quality, and save
you bucks attitude.  For more info on how they are doing, see the PC
Week dated June 24.

Cheers,
Victor
