Just a quick question. May be e-mail reply to me is more appropriate.

When I was shopping for 20 to 25 MHz 80386 CPU's, I was told that the
bug free version is those with double sigma marking. I did saw them.
Now I am interested in 80386-33. It trouble me that I don't see the
same double sigma marking on the CPUs I have looked at so far.

Does the double sigma rule apply to 33 MHz 80386 or is it only to
the slower parts ? In another word, how can I tell if a 33 MHz 80386
is a bug free version (may be they all are, but I hope someone
knowledgeable can tell me if it is so).

Thanks in advance.
