AlienMenace Well-Known Member Nov 25, 2009 #2 Those were earlier model of computers (chips) . It's like this 8086, 8088, 286, 386, 486. They were originally called 80286, 80386, and 80486. Then P1, p2, p3 and P4. I started out with an 8088. My first IBM Compatible computer. Last edited: Nov 25, 2009
