<What's better? The 386sx or 386dx. From looking at the suffixes, it

DX. the DX had the needed logic for supporting an external cache the SX did
not.

<(had - it's now parts) Gateway 386DX/25, and Compaq 386SX/20 (SLT386s/20).
<The Compaq could run more things quicker than the Gateway. Or is my case
<just a freak of nature or because of that majic stuff called Cache?

That was likely not cached. there are other parameters like memory wait
states and external bus speeds that can affect the total throughput of any
cpu.
