wbmw, I had a 286 20 Mhz ( Don't recall the manufacturer ) and my roommate had a 386 25Mhz. Absolutely no difference. I've had an opposite experience. When I was back in grad school, we had a program called Sigma Plot that we'd customized a data format to show a mass spectrum as a function of temperature and peak intensity. The comparisons between a 386, 486, and pentium machines were simply amazing. The 386 we had was clocked at 33MHz, the Pentium was either a 75 or a 100, and the 486 was a 50. What would take the poor 386 10 minutes to do, the pentium could do in 20 seconds.
