It seems that we don't have to worry, and that our 80386DX-33 should be OK. However, one particular question seems to have received contradictory answers. Some answers claim that "sigma-sigma" (or other) sign has been used only up till 20MHZ version and should not appear on faster processors. Other people claim that they have it on their 33MHz chip! So if you are not bored by answering me, please do it once more. My questions are now the following: 1. What means (or has ment) the "sigma-sigma" sign on the processor? (Intel's final sign of approval?) 2. What means (or has ment) the "sigma-pi" sign on the processor? 3. Where can I find some (printed?) info about these matters? 4. Is there any contact in Intel, Inc. (e-mail?) where I could try to get some "official" answer? (I'm currently trying to find such in Intel-Sweden, but no success yet:-() If possible, please answer by e-mail (jam@ida.liu.se) and Cc: to marek@amargosa.uucp Thanks in advance -- Jacek (Jacek Malec, Dept of Computer and Information Science, Linkoping University, 583 81 Linkoping, Sweden, tel. +46 13 282362, email: jam@ida.liu.se)
