I am planning to buy a 386 DX maschine that runs on 25MHz.

I have read somewhere that it is suffisient to have 2/3 of
the speed on the 387.

Is it possible to use a 16MHz 387 on a 25 MHz 386 maschine?

Or do I need 20 or 35 MHz?

I could not find any tables in the Intel databook.

i do realize that higher speed -> more power dissipation. How
low can you go with sufficient cooling?

Yours Ottar
