Was there not a plain old 486 without a suffix?? Seems kind of odd to me, but Intel is often a bit goofy...

I don't know, but 486DX and 486SX is pretty exhaustive. You either have an on-board FPU or you don't.

As far as I can recall there was never a vanilla '486' with nothing tagged after it's name. The idea of the plain old '486' changed as things went along.

For instance, when I first got a 486 it was that 24-bit bus, 16 megs of ram thingy. I called it 486. Then I got a DX2, still I called it a 486, and the same thing with a DX4.

that's my $.02 :)
