Hi guys ! I want to try a intel 386 dx-20 cpu in my DTK 386 dx-33 keen-3336 with a intel 386 dx-33 cpu desktop computer. (exchange from a 386 dx-33 cpu)
What would or could happen ?
Would it work ? Would the cpu work at 20mhz ?
Could it blow everything or burn ?
This motherboard and DTK computer was not made for this cpu at all, so i have some fear. I think the manual say that its only compatible with a 386 dx-33 cpu or 386 dx-40 cpu. I suppose the 386 dx-40 is from Amd.
This is my DTK 386 dx-33 keen-3336 manual:

Thanks a lot for answer and help.
( i dont have the 386 dx-20 cpu in hands right now, i have a deal to buy it cheap )
