I'm currently comparing the intel iAPX 286 and 386 processors with the view to writing a real-time operating system in protected mode. I've come accross an article which comes to the conclussion that a '286 is as fast as a '386 (with same clock frequencies). What are the highest clock frequencies in use for these processors ? I'm not interested in special cases where a some huge clock speed has been achieved in a test, etc. -- What kind of performance improvment can be achieved using with the fastest 386 clock frequency relative to the fastest 286 ? Any comments, suggestions, references that any of you think might be of interest to me will be appreciated. Thanks, Robert Hartill
