... almost 20 years old thread
go with ryzen 7 3700x. it smokes sx, dx all other intel processor for last 20 generations out of water
Hi fellow Netters,
I'm trying to convince may boss to get me a PC and I said that I would
like to have an 486DX compared to 486SX, then came the fatel question
"What are the differences between an SX and a DX...? How is it going
to help you do your work more efficiently...can the cost difference
be justified....?"
eeeeeekkkkk !!! I screamed, I was able to give him some answers on the
spur of the moment such as
1. the way memory is accessed...
2. Speed
3. .......started to choke......
Can any kind soul please give some pros and cons (I'll keep the cons away from my boss...;-)) between a Intel 80486sx and a 80486dx...
thanks,
SC

In my opinion you should go with 486sx, the premium on the DX part will be hard to justify to your boss. Applications don't automatically take advantage of the x87 FPU, the y need to be compiled specifically with x87 support. This means any older
