	I have recently been hearing how AMD 16Mhz 80286-16 with CHIPS chips
	set is faster than the 80386 also running at 16Mhz.  Does this rumor
	take into consideration the different I/O Bandwidths?  It would seem
	the 286 would still have 1/2 the bandwidth which would affect everything
	from memory to disk access times.  Does anyone know?
