the 386sx was only be able to adress 16Mo if i remember correctly (the adress bus was only 24 bits) there was something weird with the cache too. also, the 486sx (at least the first ones) did has a coprocessor; it was disabled but was still there (though i don't rember if it was missing pins or some silicon hack).
