Message-ID: <3720001@hpsgwp.sgp.hp.com> Date: 9 Nov 90 09:00:06 GMT Organization: HP Singapore IC Design Ctr Lines: 24 Just a quick question. May be e-mail reply to me is more appropriate. When I was shopping for 20 to 25 MHz 80386 CPU's, I was told that the bug free version is those with double sigma marking. I did saw them. Now I am interested in 80386-33. It trouble me that I don't see the same double sigma marking on the CPUs I have looked at so far. Does the double sigma rule apply to 33 MHz 80386 or is it only to the slower parts ? In another word, how can I tell if a 33 MHz 80386 is a bug free version (may be they all are, but I hope someone knowledgeable can tell me if it is so). Thanks in advance.
