Message-ID: <875@beguine.UUCP> Date: 20 Aug 90 23:39:53 GMT Sender: usenet@beguine.UUCP Lines: 4 I am trying to decide whether to pursue the RISC, DSP, or 486 path for semi-casual math applications. I figure DSP is the only choice for real-time but how well deos the 387 and 486 perform? I have used the '287 and found it dissapointing. What kind of performance deos the 486 offer?
