Intel 80386 "Intel386") The successor to the {Intel 80286} {microprocessor}. It was the first Intel processor with 32-bit data and address {bus}ses. It can address four {gigabytes} (2^32 bytes) of memory; however, 16 megabytes is a typical maximum in {IBM PC}s. The 386 allows multiple {application programs} to run at the same time (when running under 386-specific {operating systems}) using "{protected mode}". The first {IBM compatible} to use the 386 was the {Compaq} 386, before {IBM} used it in high-end models of their {PS/2} series. It is also used in {HP}'s {RS} series and many others. It does not require special {EMS} memory boards to expand {MS-DOS} memory limits. With the 386, the EMS standard can be simulated in normal {extended memory}, and many DOS add-ons provide this "Expanded Memory Manager" feature. See also {Intel 80386SX}, {BSD386}. (1995-02-21) | |
