?!?!?!? If you have a 386 why would you switch to a 486 instead of adding
a 387?

The only IMPORTANT differences, as I understand, are as follows:
   1) Intel i$ $pending lot$ of dollar$ trying to make u$ believe
      that the 486 is my$tically better than 386+387.
   2) The 386+387 configuration is available and works.
   
What am I missing?
