My Gateway2000 486sx25 has an SI rating of 54.0 !
Buy the 486sx25 over the 386-40.  It is cheaper, faster, and upgradeable
to one killer machine!

I know there is a lot of argument about which chip is faster.
Can't we all just agree that each chip might do some functions better than
the other.  And they are almost equal in overall performance.
Granted, one test favors the 386-40 and another test favors the 486sx25.
One magazine claims the 386-40 is faster than the 486sx25.
While another magazine claims the opposite.
I have also seen conflicting opinions in the SAME magazine!
It really boils down to price.  Get the cheaper one, since they are about
the same in power. 
However there are a few other benefits for the 486sx.
It is upgradeable.  The DX2 chip should eventually drop in price to be 
comparable with a 387, and it will double the speed as well.
The 486 operates at a lower clock speed, so it will give off less heat, and
probably last longer (not to say anything of radiation at 40mHz).

P.V.
