In some of the earlier posts I remember a discussion concerning 386SX's
and 386DX's. I can no longer access them, so could someone please list
the differences among the two types of chips and systems, and if possible
the advantages and disadvantages of each
Thanks. Joe S.ted@helios.ucsc.edu (Ted Cantrall) (08/18/90)
OK, here it is. SX DX 16 data lines 32 data lines 24 addr lines 32 addr lines max mem=16Meg max mem=4Gig Internally the chips are the same and will run the same software (if it doesn't use more than 16 meg). For those fetches that are 32 bit, the SX will be slower, of course. -ted- PS there is a co-proc for the SX also (80387sx). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ted@helios.ucsc.edu | "If I get any phone calls while I'm gone, (408)459-2110 | just don't answer them." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
