This post (unwarranted?) may not be true for all people. First, the 386SX
is a *full* 32 bit microprocessor; only thing is, its interface to the 
external world is through 16 bits. All software intended to run on the 
386DX should run absolutely correctly on the SX.

Secondly, the price difference between a 286AT and 386SX is next to 0 if
you look at the right places. This is not the case between 386SX and 386DX
(and I think Intel will always make sure that the differential exists).
