What is different about the XT AT 286 and 386 motherboards from the 486?

They are the same size, but the processors are slower. ( The XT was a 16-bit 8088 computer, the AT was a 286 processor, a 386 was advanced enough to have virtual memory. The 486, even more powerfull had a built in math co-processor for the most part ).

∙ 9y ago1. The 386 came on the market around 1994, and is a dinosaur by today standards. It could run Windows 3.x, 95, 98 and ME, but nothing better.
1. The 486 came out about three years later. It is faster then a 386. Can usually handle Windows 2000 and XP as well as the 9x versions of Windows.
2. 386 =50mgz windows 31
2. 486 windows 95 up to 133mgz

Why are different Intel Pentium processor called 286 386 486?
they are not all pentium cpus they are named after each other of when they came out it was the 8086, 8088, 186, 286,386, 486, then the pentium , the pentium is basically a 586 and 686 based on what pentium you have.
What was the average processor speed for a computer in 1995?
In 1995 most PC computers were either 286, 386 or 486. The average 386 processor ran at a speed of 33mhz. Speeds have risen dramatically since then and are now many times more powerful.
What does ACPI x86-based PC stand for?
ACPI or Advanced Configuration and Power Interface, is a specification that defines recognition for hardware, motherboards and other devices. It replaces the older AMP standard. x86 is just referring to the processor. Its all based of x86 technology back from the IBM 8086 Cpu's. that's why for a while CPU's kept getting designated 286, 386, 486 etc. cause it was all based of the x86 technology

What new hardware system has replaced 286 processors?
286, 386 and 486 are very old processors. Check out this list of historical processors http://www.vaughns-1-pagers.com/computer/cpu-evolution.htm. The question needs to be restated. Generally "hardware system" is defined by a collection of computer components (hard drive, RAM, Processor, etc). However, if you are asking what the progression of processors has been since the 286, then the link should help. Good luck.
What is mca bus ISA bus VESA bus PCI bus?
ISA bus was a standard used for years. It was first 8-bit, being the standard expansion slot for most 8086/8088 motherboards, but later extended to 16-bit, which was the standard for 286, 386, and 486 motherboards. Most standard PC's had ISA slots through the late 1990's. They began to be phased out in the early 2000's, and are now obsolete. VESA Local bus was an extension of the standard 16-bit ISA bus, and gave a 32-bit expansion slot. These were seen in late 486 and early Pentium motherboards, which would often have two or three VESA Local Bus slots in addition to 16-bit ISA slots. They were short lived, quickly replaced by PCI slots. PCI was introduced in the mid 1990's, and are still common today. Some late 486 motherboards had two or three PCI slots in addition to 16-bit ISA slots, and they became standard with Pentium systems (most Pentium motherboards, Pentium II motherboards, and some Pentium III motherboards still had some ISA slots in addition to the PCI slots). MCA was bus developed by IBM and used in their PS/2 systems. It is to buses what Beta is to the VCR: A good technology, but made obsolete because it's developers made it too expensive for other manufacturers to license. MCA offered a 32-bit bus before VESA Local Bus or PCI were available.
What is 486 as a fraction?
-486 as a fraction is -486/1.
How do you compute the volume of a cube that is 486 on a side?
It's 486^3 = 486 * 486 * 486 = 114,791,256
What number is divisible by 486?
486, 972, 1458, 1944, and all of the other multiples of 486 are divisible by 486.
What times what is 486?
The factors of 486 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54, 81, 162, 243, and 486. 1 x 486 = 486; 2 x 243 = 486; 3 x 162 = 486; 6 x 81 = 486; etc.
