  I am considering purchasing a math-coprocessor for my 386-40.  I have heard
that the Cyrix co-processor chip tests out the fastest and is the only one
that can perform all of the instruction set with no compatibility problems.
  Does anyone have any experience/information on these chips?  I am not 
concerned with the price differences, since they are minimal ($25-40), but
am greatly concerned with getting the best available chip.

Thanks-
Jason Worley
