Since the issue of coprocessors is being brought up, I noticed in the latest PC magazine some test of the Cyrix 25 Mhz 80387 replacement vs. the Intel part were done. They didn't find much of a speed increase for the price. The increae was about 15% for their Autocad benchmark. The Cyrix is about twice the price of the Intel part. It is CMOS, so it will run cooler and probably last longer. I am curious to know what results people on the net have had with the Cyrix or IIT replacement chips for the 80387. Brent H. Besler
