In PC Magazine, July 1990, coloumn Tutor, there is a page about how to detect different CPU (80x86). But it didn't say anything about how to tell the different between 80386DX and 80386SX. Since 80386DX can address more RAM than 80386SX, my guess is to check the address bus (24 bit or 32 bit). Am I guessing it right?
