Tim it was even worse comparing a 386SX to a 386DX as the 386SX was still a 16 bit cpu whereas the 386DX was true 32 bit.

a 386SX performed like a 286. I was pissed about my 386SX when I got it as it was slow.

Processor Winstone Value
--------------------------------------------------
386/25MHz Winstone base w/4MB 10.20
386/25MHz Winstone base w/8MB 13.60
486/25MHz                     26.32
CxS40                         29.95*
486/33MHz                     34.32
SLC2/50                       36.70*
SLC2/66                       37.80*
AMD40                         40.30*
486DX2/50MHz                  43.50
486/50MHz                     47.94
486DX2/66MHz                  50.68
Pentium                       73.30
CX486DRx2/50                  14.20 --
Rev to 486 2/50               15.40 Rev to 486 3/75               18.00 

Keep in mind these could vary alot
486/Now! 11.20 / depending what system the upgrade
MCMaster 50PD/8 15.00 -- is going into (ie MCMaster was 
only tested on a 386SX16 machine
and the rest a Compaq 386DX/25e
with only 4MB and with 8MB the 
Rev to 486 2/50 did 23 Winstones
and the 486/33 did 36. So with 
more memory and better peripherals
the upgrades should give truer 486
performance despite PC Magazines
slams against them in general.
