5. If you installed the ODP486DX/33, you need to change the

program so your computer can update its configuration.

See Chapter 2 of the Setup Guide for instructions. (You need

only run the program and save the configuration; you do

Installing a Math Coprocessor

A math coprocessor speeds up the numeric calculations your

computer performs when using some applications. It also

increases the speed at which graphic images are displayed on

your monitor when you use certain graphics programs.

Roth the 486DX/33 and the 486DX2/66 CPU cards have a math

coprocessor built into the microprocessor, but they also have an

additional socket in which you can install a Weitek 4167 math

coprocessor. On the 486SX/25 card, you can install a 487SX/25

microprocessor chip in the OverDrive module socket. This

microprocessor has a built-in math coprocessor and replaces

the 486SX/25 microprocessor on the card.

Note

If you install the 487SX/25 microprocessor chip, you cannot

also install an OverDrive module on the card because both

options require the same socket.
