The fastest Intel 486 was 100MHz. However AMD produced the Am486 up to 120MHz, and the Am5x86 (which was intended to compete with Pentium but runs in 486 motherboards) goes up to 133MHz.

I've got a 120mhz amd 486 under my bed. It can't play games worth a damn due to a terrible FPU.

South America is crazy, thats why its shaped like a question mark.
just upgraded his 386 cpu to a 486 at 233 mhz 4 MB ram , 4 MB video ram ( no 3d card) 4 GB HDD.

lol. that was me 2 desktops ago lol.
I could be wrong, but I'm pretty confident that 486's never got faster than 66 mhz. The Intel processors didn't hit the 233 mark until the Pentium 2 came out. At least...that's what I remember...
Pentium 1 had a 233MHz model.

ya thats true. 486 didnt. pentium and p2 did .hell my pc at 266 mhz was a p2 class pc but not a p2 lol

yes, because the prices are on par too (and sometimes lower)

There was the 486 DX-100, 486 DX-66, and the 486 DX-33. The latter 2 were Intels, I believe. I have an AMD 486 DX-100.

There was also the SX model of 486 if I remember correctly

That rings a bell.

There were plenty of them... from Wikipedia:

* Intel 80486SX - a i486DX with its FPU disabled, although the earlier variants were simply normal i486s with defective FPUs. In later versions, the FPU was removed from the die to reduce its area and thus reduce cost.
* Intel 80486DX - same as above, with a working FPU.
* Intel 80486DX2 - the internal processor clock runs at twice the clock rate of the external bus clock.
* Intel 80486SX2 - same as the i486DX2, but with the FPU disabled.
* Intel 80486SL - i486SX with power conservation circuitry. Mainly for use in portable computers.
* Intel 80486SL-NM - i486SX with power conservation circuitry; SL enhanced suffix, denotes a i486 with special power conservation circuitry similar to that in the i486SL processors.
* Intel 80487 - i486DX with a slightly different pinout for use in i486SX systems as a FPU.
* Intel 80486 OverDrive - i486SX, i486SX2, i486DX2 or i486DX4. Marked as upgrade processors, some models had different pinouts or voltage handling abilities from 'standard' chips of the same speed stepping.
* Intel 80486DX4 - designed to run at triple clock rate (not quadruple as often believed; the DX3, which was meant to run at 2.5x the clock speed, was never released).
