To: Brian Litzinger cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I installed one for testing, but the chip i got reported itself as a 386 chip (running like a 110 mhz one according to norton's sysinfo) and they told us it had the 386 opcodes, not the '586' opcodes, that were to be available later (it was about two months ago) FreeBSD liked it, but X11 performance wasn't too good, because of the lack of an npx (i guess) and FreeBSD reported it too as a 386 clone.
