Buy the 386DX-40 rather than the 486SX-25. The 386DX-40 is faster than the
486SX-25 as documented in many trade magazines. Since the 486SX doesn't
come with a built in math coprocessor like the 486DX, the 486SX has
no real advantage over the 386DX-40 other than it is cheaper.

I believe the norton SI rating (v.6) for a 386 DX 40 is about 47.
I dont know what it is for a 486SX off hand but I know it is slower
according to magazines which published the ratings for the CPUS.
