386 Benchmark Pack
This set of benchmarks are for 386 computers. With 386 computers I classify any system that can take a 386 processor. This includes 386 upgrade chips that add some of the 486 features!
The benchmarks run from a single Floppy disk and below you can find all files required to create the disk.
3dbench is version 1.0, so different to version 1.0c found in the 486+ benchmark suite. The results cannot be compared, so make sure you only compare apples with apples.
