..The Hubble's old computer is based on an Intel 386 microchip. The
new one is an Intel 486 - 20 times faster with six times the memory.
Actually, there are three identical computers in the replacement box,
only one of which is used at any given time. Each has two megabytes
of memory.
"Now that doesn't sound like much in days where everybody talks about
64 megabytes or 128 megabytes," said Hubble program manager John
Campbell. "But you should keep in mind that we don't do Windows..."
