Well the 486sx is the same die as 486 with coproc disabled. And in
contrast the the 386 the 486 is a scalar, tough not super-scalar CPU.
(This is what this "pipline stuff" and multiple pipeline stuff is about ;-).

Please trust me they are *not* very similar from CPU design point
of view. They are only similar on the command set level.
Anyway just to put it straight: Your system certainly won't be affected
by the removal.
