$99 486 SX

     I have not expressed interest in the $99 486 SX so far, because,
     an SX chip does not include hardware floating point capabilities.
     (If I remember correctly only DX chips have FP).

     Of course, FP operations can be emulated (slowly) in software.
     I find I like to do some math intensive things as projects.  Others
     may not care about this limitation.
