Keywords: 80386, 80386sx, 80286 Message-ID: <27781@cornell.UUCP> Date: 12 May 89 20:16:37 GMT Sender: nobody@cornell.UUCP Reply-To: jrr@svax.cs.cornell.edu (Jim Russell) Organization: Cornell Univ. CS Dept, Ithaca NY Lines: 15 Could someone explain to me the difference (both technical and practical) between the 80386sx, and the 80386, and 80286? I am going to be getting a new computer, and notice several similarly priced 286 and 386sx machines, and wonder what the tradeoffs are among the three processors. Please e-mail replies if you think this is of little general interest. Thanks, Jim Jim Russell Cornell Univ, Comp. Sci. Dept. jrr@svax.cs.cornell.edu
