This is a coprocessor made by Cyrix (the DLC is the give-away). It is
designed to run at a clock speed of 40Mhz (the -40) and therefore is
not applicable if your computer has some other clock speed (ie 33 or
25 MHz). I believe the 4C87 means that it is a copressor for a 486
chip (Cyrix initially made their mark manufacturing a 40MHz 486
without co-pro). I may be wrong on the last point, but unless you have
a 40MHz clock speed, the chip really isn't applicable. Although, it
**may** work OK at the slower clock speed.
