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 (talk • contribs) 07:53, 16 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
