- I can tell one thing about their benchmarks--they clearly use the co-processor.
- Otherwise, the 486SX and 486DX numbers would be identical. That's just come-
- thing to keep in mid if you don't anticipate using any applications which
- use the FPU. For apps which don't use it (well over 90% don't), the SX is
- every bit as fast as the DX.
-
- Now I know where my new 486SX/33 stands. Where is my old 386DX/20?? :-)
