Hi *,

This may sound stupid.  But I ask anyway.

I have a 386-25MHz (cpu AMD) with 8M RAM (sip).  So, I figure
the best way to upgrade (with little money) is to try out
Cyrix's Cx486DRx. (I cannot upgrade RAM size. 8 is max.)

Has anyone had experience with this??  How much is it?  And
Does it run with os2 and FreeBSD/NetBSD??  Please email
me at jlu@cs.umr.edu.  If there is suff. interest, I'll post
a summary around 12/3/93 which is two weeks from today.
Thanks!!
