All software intended to run on the >386DX should run absolutely correctly on the SX. Agreed, my 386sx clone (a swan 386sx) is subjectively identical in speed to the lab's 386dx (a 16mhz ibm ps/2 model 70). Our 16mhz 386dx inboard/386 xt feels slower due to the slow hard drive and video (my everex ega seems much faster than our ati vga-wonder 256k) with 20mhz 386sx's available, there is no need to buy anything less than a 25mhz 386dx (no real speed advantage with today's software) tim
