drop it..............386 is dead......the 3g you are thinking about applies to cell phones, not computers.......we are at about generation 9 on pc's.

Sorry it applies to computers too. Better research it more Senior Gringo.

ok childred.....todays lesson will be on computer generations......

8086/8088 (8/16-bit)
80186 (8/16-bit)
80286 (8/16-bit)
80386 (32-bit) (SX - No FPU/ DX - FPU)
80486 (32-bit) (SX - No FPU/ DX - FPU, also SLC but only seen in Amstrads!)
80586 (AKA Pentium) (32-bit)
80686 (AKA PII/PIII/PIV inc celeron varieties etc) (32-bit going to 64-bit). I think PIV and co belong here but stand to be corrected, not sure if they are based around an 80686 core of higher

So, we are currently at about generation 7 or 8.

Class over.........leave your homework on my desk on the way out.

Seems like he has a little misunderstanding about the whole 3G thing. Just setting him straight. Seems like its Senior garyted51 is the one who has to do his research :laugh:
