Quick 386/387 question

[Minerva10210]

Ok, will be honest off the bat and admit I have not searched the forum yet, posting off my phone...

If I have an Intel 386SX16 mobo, will it work with a Cyrix 387SX25 chip.

Sorry if the question has been asked before.

Yes. The speed rating is the max speed, so a 25MHz 387 will run fine at 16MHz.

Some motherboards let you run the CPU and FPU at different speeds, but it doesn't really make a lot of difference.
