- As far as software is concerned, as 386SX and a 386DX are identical chips,
- Coherent 4.0 runs fine on an SX. How much memory you need really depends
- on what you're using your system for. I've got 4MB on a 386SX and it's
- adequate virtually all of the time for this typically 3 - user system, but
- occasionally memory gets a little tight.
