Wikipedia:
The Intel 80387 ('387') was the math coprocessor for the Intel 80386 series of microprocessors, and the first Intel coprocessor to implement the IEEE 754 standard in every detail. It was used to perform floating point arithmetic operations directly in hardware. The 387 was compatible only with the standard 386 chip; the cut down 386SX had its own coprocessor, the Intel 80387SX, that could work with the SX's smaller data bus. The coprocessor was released in 1987, two years after the 386 chip was put into production.
Hopefully that should calm your fears, Amundo, that your 256 bytes of memory might have failed. Although, I'd recomend getting an upgrade - no lady will ever be impressed unless you have something much larger to play with.

Not sure what my memory has to do with impressing the ladies, but as long as it's big enough for my wife, that's all that matters!
P.S. She plays with my computer...don't know what you were thinking of???
