- I asked this before, but got no responses so....
-
- I have a 386SX-25 that will act as an X server. I have a 386DX-33 that
- will run most of the X clients. If I were to get ONE math coprocessor,
- which machine would benefit the most?
-
- Or maybe nobody understood the way I worded it...
-
- Where is most of the floating point taking place, in the server or the
- clients?
