Message-ID: <89268.165003MHS108@PSUVM.BITNET> Date: 25 Sep 89 20:50:03 GMT Organization: Penn State University Lines: 13 Can anyone out there help me to decide if I should get a 386 or a 386SX? I am just a programmer who doesn't demand a whole lot- I just want to run Unix, MS-DOS, my programming languages, Microsoft Windows, Pagemaker, and the assorted stuff that is fun, but requires a 386. I am now confused- I currently own an 8086 and regret spending $4000 for a new computer. However it seems like I can upgrade with an SX for a few hundred dollars- MAYBE! Is this really an upgrade for me? Thanks for your time Mark Solsman Pennsylvania State University - Worthington Scranton Campus MHS108@PSUVM
