Yeah, I'm starting to realize that (remember back to when I first looked that Intel codebooks). The paging is definitely a major plus, along other things. I think I conceded it in this post: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2004-June/msg00039.html "The rule of thumb is, everything that can be built for 386 ISA, should be built for it. Optimize for 686 architectures (PPro/II+, Athlon, etc...), but make it 386 ISA compatible. If that is not possible (e.g., NPTL), then 486 ISA." But otherwise we agree on the "target 486, optimize PPro"? Alan Cox wrote: > 240. And it runs 586 code. Trust me I've got one 8) 240MHz sounds more like a WinChip2 with the pipelined FPU? But if you say it's an original WinChip, I'll believe you. -- Bryan J. Smith, E.I. -- b.j.smith@xxxxxxxx
