Lol- of course, I have to find one first.

The PC is old (obviously) but I'm having a very nice time playing with it.  I got a brand new copy of DOS 6.22 & WFWG 3.11 ($1) at a recent rummage sale.  It's freshly reloaded & I'd like to see what I can do with it for learning's sake.

I would really like to get it online- just to see it happen.  I have a sound card w/CD-ROM ports that I have yet to locate drivers for- but that would allow me CD usage on my ancient Sony 2X.

Ok- here's the question: the thing only runs at 25mhz & has all memory banks filled (8 x 1mb sticks).  Running 3.11 w/Calmira- it's amazingly speedy- but I have a second, empty CPU slot.

Would there be any difference in performance- if I were lucky enough to find one?  It is marked "Intel i386"- AB0386DX-33 IV- SX386- Intel '85.

Guess I need some PC "old-timers" help on this one?
