I just saw an ad for an Intel built 80386 replacement chip called the 
RapidCAD Engineering CoProcessor.  It is supposed to give up to 70% improve-
ment for technical applications.  It comes with two chips.  One replaces 
the 80386 and one goes in the 80387 slot.  Any idea what this thing is and
how it speeds up the computer?
