Well the 486sx is the same die as 486 with coproc disabled. And in contrast the the 386 the 486 is a scalar, tough not super-scalar CPU. (This is what this "pipline stuff" and multiple pipeline stuff is about ;-). Please trust me they are *not* very similar from CPU design point of view. They are only similar on the command set level. Anyway just to put it straight: Your system certainly won't be affected by the removal. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
