For an XT clone with a "turbo" speedup mode, is it necessary to buy the faster 8087-2 rather than the regular 8087?

One hopes that when the 8088 gets cranked up, so does the 8087. This may or may not be the case. Only the folks who made the box know for sure. (I hope the folks who *sold* the box know, or can find out!) 8087 == 8087-3 == 5 MHz >= 4.77 MHz; 8087-2 == 8 Mhz; 8087-1 == 10 MHz -Paul S. R.
