Kline) Subject: background question To: questions@freebsd.org (freebsd) Date: Fri, 15 Dec 1995 08:45:37 -0800 (PST) Organization: <> thought.org: public access uNix in service... <> X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24 PGP2] Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk With all the discussion about motherboards and CPU clock rate in recent days, I thought I'd toss out this question regarding my 4-year-old 386/387-40MHz SVR4 system. Soon (days to weeks), I'll replace my present 386 box with my new FreeBSD system. ....Then, in time, I figure I'll upgrade the old ISA box to a PCI or whatever. I've got 16MB of 80ns 4Meg SIMM's aboard the old system, and I'd like to re-use them when I upgrade. My question is: what's the fastest CPU that will run with the 80ns 4-Meggers? -- Gary D.
