I believe I read somewhere, that you can put a faster speed (than the PC's speed) math coprocessor in a PC and it works fine, but you don't want to put a slower math coprocessor in, as it slows the apps from the speed they could be running. (and of course, putting in the SAME speed coprocessor is the usual recommendation)
In other words, as a theoretical example, you could run a 20MHz math co in a 16MHz PC, but you wouldn't really want to use a 12MHz math co.
This would apply to 286 and 386 PCs, of course.
Can anyone confirm this?
