The press has been talking about non-Intel fully compatible
386 chips which should be coming to the market soon. If
this is true, will it decrease the price of 386- (486-) PCs
significantly in the near future?

Are there any compatibility problems expected with the
non-Intel 387s?

Are there other factors which might cause the prices of those
PCs to decrease considerably soon, i.e. is it worth while to
wait e.g. till February before buying.
