086?

Doogee:
hrmm looks like id have to get 000 then cos my celery 700 never crashes on me

Calum:
mine neither.

x86, though. doesn't the preceding x show that it's a hex number? that's stupid though, because then the 2nd number from last would either be a 1 or a 0 i think...

don't mind me...

flap:
No, x86 just refers to the whole architecture, i.e. "anything"-86, 486, 586 etc.
And 86 is a valid hex number (134 decimal). You might be thinking of the notation whereby "0x" is placed before hex numbers.
