Has anyone out there got any comments on using a 80287 math coprocessor with
a 386-25 or similar?  I believe my system board accommodates a 287 and they're
about 1/4 the price of 387's, so my question is whether or not the 287 improves
performance within a factor of using a 387 on a 386 system.

Thanks for any replies.
