- I am making some changes to my 80386 CPU board, and have considered
- upgrading to 40 MHz. I have a genuine Intel 80387 rated for 3 MHz.
- The Intel manual says that it "may not function at higher speeds".
- The Intel tech support line representative told me it definitely
- will NOT work at higher speeds.
-
- Has anybody actually run Intel's 80387 at 40 MHz? What are the
- chances that it will work reliably?
