Wasn't the slowest 486 running at 25 MHz? 8 sounds a bit slow. How fast 
did Intel go with the 486? I know the 66 MHz version was quite popular 
for awhile. I seem to (vaguely) remember some late-model 486's at 75 
and 100 MHz. AMD made a 486 running at 133 MHz (i still have one 
running in a cardboard box as my firewall). I don't know about any 
faster than that though.
