- No it's:
-
- 386SX 32bit internal, 16 bit memory interface, external FPU (optional)
- 386DX 32bit internal, 32 bit memory interface, external FPU (optional)
- 486SX 32bit internal, 32 bit memory interface, external FPU (optional)
- 486DX 32bit internal, 32 bit memory interface, internal FPU
-
- Of course, Apple buys 32 bit internal/external '030 cpus from
- Motorola and then figures out a way to make the memory interface
- 16 bit in the Classic II and LC II, or make the memory interface
- run at 16MHz instead of the 32Mhz cpu speed in the IIvx and
- Performa 600.
