Quake did not require Pentiums... edit

I removed "(e.g. Quake)" regarding Pentium requirements because it runs on 486 processors. I still have an old 486, and it has Quake on it. It runs like #$%@ but it works. 24.107.65.240 (talk) 05:33, 15 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

First chip to use clock doubling edit

"It was the first chip to use clock doubling, whereby the processor runs two internal logic clock cycles per external bus cycle". From Atari TT page: "To make the system work with a 32 MHz 68030, Atari Corp. had to scale back their plans somewhat, and add a large amount of cache to the system. As a result, the processor runs at 32 MHz, while the system bus runs at 16 MHz. This is similar to the tactic employed by Apple with the ill-fated Macintosh IIvx and later employed by makers of PCs with an Intel 80486DX2 CPU." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Calimero (talkcontribs) 07:53, 16 February 2014 (UTC)Reply
