Judging from the postings in various newsgroups the only difference between a 386SX based machine and a 386DX based machine is speed because the 386SX has a 16-bit bus compared to a 386DX which has a 32-bit bus. If this is the only difference, why is there such a great difference in price? Regards Spiros Mancoridis
