Combjelly, Re: "that was the whole point of the 386, it certainly did not have higher performance than the 286 of that time for the existing code base." I beg to differ. I've used plenty of 286 and 386 class machines, and I can tell you bar-none that 386 outperformed its predecessor by a significant and noticeable amount. That was what sold the processor - not the "32-bittness". As a side fact, consider the 386-SX, which was a 386 processor without the 32-bits. This CPU actually outsold the 386 in volumes, since it catered to the more mainstream market. wbmw
