- I would like to buy an AMD 386 computer.
- I am concerned about whether the chip
- Advanced Micro Devices uses in this
- machine is compatible with the Intel chip.
-
- I want to write software which will run
- on any IBM or clone.
-
- Would programming (in Turbo C) on an AMD
- be completely portable in the PC world
- (from 286 on up)?
-
- Any information would be greatly appreciated.
