I am interested in purchasing a 386 machine.  Judging from the 
postings in various newsgroups the only difference between a 
386SX based machine and a 386DX based machine is speed because the
386SX has a 16-bit bus compared to a 386DX which has a 32-bit bus.
If this is the only difference, why is there such a great difference
in price?
