The only info I have on this relates to Linux SMP. The only 486s it can use are Intel DX, DX2 or DX4. No 486SX, no Cyrix/AMD 486s. It appears that the two CPUs don't need to have the same internal speed (so you could pair a 486DX-33 with a 486DX2-66); however, there may be a performance hit from using mismatched CPUs.
