Now this could be interesting timing, doesn't the patent for the 486 processor expire soon. And then maybe Nvidia could spice up the 486 architecture to link in with the GPU for number crunching. IOW: Having a base 486 and then extending it with there own enhancements that could easily be driver implemented. I know you can still put XP on a 486, goes a bit slow, but a supercharged 486 with GPU acceleration could bring it back up to speed. Basically if you can create a CPU with enough instructions to get the OS booting & running, everything else is a bonus. And all the new instructions that will expire as years go on could then be retro fitted to newer versions of Nvidia CPU.
