286 The second generation of the Intel x86 family of CPU chips. The term may refer to the chip or to a PC that used it. Introduced in 1982, it was the successor to the 8088/8086 chips used in the first PCs. The 286 broke the infamous one-megabyte memory barrier, but although faster than the previous generation, it was never capable of supporting Windows and other graphics-based applications. See AT class and x86.Technical Specs Type: 16-bit multitasking microprocessor Transistors: 134,000 Package: 68-pin PGA, PLCC or LCC Registers: 15 16-bit Real Mode: Performs as 8086 CPU; addresses 1MB memory. Protected Mode: Addresses 16MB physical and 1GB virtual memory and provides access to memory protection. Want to thank TFD for its existence?

No references found | The newer systems, called E-Z-Cam II, have Model 286 PCs with 80286 processors and 80287 math coprocessors. To speed up operation, try one of these approaches (in order of likely effectiveness): 1) increase your basic computer RAM to 64OK; 2) if the graphics software requires frequent disk access, create a RAM disk using additional memory; 3) add a math coprocessor chip, such as an 80287 (assuming your graphics program will support it); or 4) use a faster microcomputer. |
