Problem

Solutions: Intel Microprocessor 80386: A microprocessor first introduced in 1986 with a full 32 bit data bus structure. The 80386 microprocessor canprocess 32 bits of data at one time internally or externally. It also includes the ability to do multitasking or the ability to run two or more application programs at once. It does this by enabling the operating system to divide memory into separate blocks of 640K, so that DOS applications can run concurrently. The 80386 microprocessor can access up to 4 gigabytes of RAM memory. Another name for this is 386DX. Intel's scaled-down version of the 80386, known as the 386SX, can process instructions in memory 32 bits at a time, but only passes information along the I/O bus at 16 bits at a time.
