Actually, 486 DX had built-in FPU as well. It was missing from 486SX
(486SX + optional 487 FPU = 486DX).

For 386(DX|SX) there were 387(DX|SX) (386SX used 16-bit bus).

Many 32-bit motherboards had a socket for Weitek (3167 for 386DX or 4167
for 486). I think I remember a board with 386DX and 287 socket as well.

486DX2 meant the external clock was half the internal.

Fine :), My (12 year old) 486DX2 already don't need Math-emu. I just
don't see how in a computer like that will be installed a kernel 2.6 .
So why code of math-emu isn't dropped ?

Btw I try install a kernel 2.4 in my DX2 and works but very very slow .
I think in this type of computer should be install a kernel 2.2 .
