What is the difference between a 486 SX and DX processor?

Bonus: What is the difference between a DX and DX/2?

    Actually, the 486 DX and the 486 SX are from the same 80486 family of processors. The only difference being that the Floating Point Unit was disabled on the SX model. The DX2 is an 80486 that runs at twice the clock speed of the external BUS, Front Side Bus.

    I'm not sure about this.

    其实， 486的dx和486的sx都是从同一个80486系列处理器。唯一的区别在于，该浮点单元是残疾人就的sx模式。该dx2是80486违背两倍时钟速度，外部总线，前端汇流排。

    I used to know this stuff from my A+ classes... then I gave up on PCs and got into Mac.

    I see, so now you don't need to know anything.

    SX has no FPU

    DX2 has double clockz

    Congrats.

    Someone else has to post a question or I'm going to keep doing it.

    What purpose does CSMA/CD serve in computer networks?

    collision detection so signals arent trasmitted at the same time ..... more or less

    100 Meters. 99 meters is the Cisco standard though.

    What routing protocol always uses the least number of hops?

    RIP........

    You have 2 pieces of equipment, both using RS-232 signaling. They are both DTE devices. Do you need cross over or straight through pinning?

    I was thinking OSPF

    Uh, cross-over?

    What network protocol is used to resolve an IP address from a MAC address?
