I guess the 486 SX's (25 or 33 MHz, no coprocessor) would be rather low on ppds compared to the big bro's DX2 and DX4 (66 and 100 MHz, coprocessor).

I missed it. I jumped from a 386SX to an AMD 586.

Still, a great sight gag.

Nope. The PPD would be zero because you need about 400-500 MHz and a coprocessor to meet the deadline.
