[comp.dcom.lans] 3c503 vs 3c505 on fast 386

I've herd that 3COM's 3c503 is faster then the 3c505 on a 386 that is runs
greater than 25Mhz.  The reasoning is that the processor on the 3c505 is
slower than the 386 and therefore holds it back even though it is a 16 bit
card as opposed to the 3c503 which is 8 bit.  Does anyone know if this
information is true?
