The SX was always better. I owned an AMD 286 40MHz and my friend’s 386SX 33MHz outperformed it in every measurable way. My jealousy overflowed!

- Narishma 5y agoThere was no 40MHz 286. It maxed out at 12MHz (Intel), 20MHz (AMD) or 25MHz (Harris).
- _nickwhite 5y agoWhoops, typo, I had an AMD 386/40 and my friend’s 386/33 kicked its ass. I _did_ actually also have an AMD 286, but it was 13MHz & had a whole 1MB of RAM.
