Conflicting claims are flying back and forth like hornets. Could someone tell me how these two chips differ, and what, if aything, one can do better than the other? IBM is sticking with the Intel line, so the 80386 will probalbly be more than the 68020. Disclaimer: I am not trying to start a my-computer-can-beat-your-computer war. Please e-mail any resonses, I'll summarize is nececessary. Johan Larson
