I am thinking of upgrading my XT clone in the near future.  Would somebody
give a recommendation to me?  I think I can afford a 286 or 386sx but prob-
ably not a true 386.  Also, will somebody tell me if I need to upgrade at
all.  I would like to, but don't know if I need to.
I have heard people say the SX is trash since it is trying to squeeze 32
bit addressing on a 16 bit bus.  I have also heard people say I should not
waste my time on a 286.
          Any help would be appreciated.
