Hello all archetecture wizes,

	I have a rather stupid question to ask.  I have a Packard Bell 386sx
machine (Best Buy special was all I could afford at the time) and would like to
upgrade if possible.  I don't want to get a whole new machine (or mother board)
but just replace the CPU if possible.  Is it possible to replace the sx chip 
with a dx chip (486 or 386) or only a hight Mz 386sx chip...  (Address lines?)
...   Please reply by direct mail only (no need to waste more bandwidth than
I have already), and no flames please... I hope to learn ALL (right..) of it
soon.

Thanks,

Dwayne
