I need to buy a math coprocessor for my Standard Computer 25MHz 386DX machine. What are the relative merits of Intel, Cyrix, and Weitek chips? I intend to perform a LOT of double-real multiplication and addition (the ultimate fractal machine) and maybe a lot of transcendentals like sin and exp. Oh yeah, my machine does support Weitek. 1) How compatible are Cyrix, Weitek, and any others to Intel? 2) What are the relative performance differences between them? 3) What are the relative costs between them? 4) Any clear winners? Any good mail-order places to get them? Thanks for any help you can give me! Keith Goolsbey goolsbey@cs.utexas.edu
