- Does anyone knows which of the coprocessors (387DX-20 or 387SX-20) works
- best (read: improves most) with Windows 3.1? IIT advvertises that it improves
- font/type manager operations. How much improvement are we talking about (in
- a standard VGA-256k system with enough system memory)?
-
- Typical applications are Word for Windows and Excel.
