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
