I want a used 387SX, but I don't know what speed I need.

I have a 386SX with an AMD CPU running at 33 MHz.  The mainboard
manual says it's a P9HN on the cover, and P9-H inside, and of course
there is no company name or address.  The manual was not completely
updated to reflect the 33 MHz model; it says the coprocessor runs
synchronously on the 16, and asynchronously on the 20 and 25.
According to the manual, it has an OPTi 82C283 chipset, and Norton SI
says the AMI BIOS is dated 12/12/91.

Does anybody know enough about this rig, or rigs like it, to guess
what speed of 387SX I need, so I don't have to go to the local
dealer and buy a new one at retail?
