Do some 16 bit and some 32 bit access from the CPU ? Theorectically, if you can isolate the memory access time in your test, then on a 386DX, there should be no difference between the two types of accesses. Whereas, a 386SX would do better at 16 bit accesses ? Will this work ? Regards, ## Life is fast enough as it is ........ Peter Lim. ## ....
