XT: eXtended Technology
    old, but good. I've still got one here :-)

AT: Advanced Technology
    less old, but even better. My best machine is one of those :-)

SX: isn't that an abbreviation of SuX? :-)
DX: no idea.

The SX only has a 16 bit data bus, though it does run 32 bit internally. You
can't use 32 bit cards (ie memory cards etc) in a 386SX. The SX will also run
slower. Eg a friend's 386SX 16 runs not much faster at all than my 286 12.
