I recommend anyone who needs a math coprocessor (and you do need one with 386BSD, I think) should get a Cyrix, if the CPU type/speed is supported by Cyrix. (For example, I don't think Cyrix makes a 386 DX/40 part.) Essentially I recommend Cyrix because it is MUCH FASTER than Intel, and more accurate. It's also a bit cheaper. > - Dave R. - -- David E.
