I didn't believe IIT 2C87 can run 100% faster than 80287, until I bought one.
It is faster. Why? It is claimed that it execute instructions is less clock
cycles.100% faster? I think it's roughly correct. PC Mags Benchmark program 
says it's around 2.5 times faster than 80287, benchmark in PC-MATLAB (a 
program that does a lot of floating point calculations) says it's around 
2 times faster. I think it's outstanding! Get one if you need a co-processor. 
BTW, it's only cost $30-$40 more than 80287, I highly recommend this chip.

            I bought one of their chip.
