Message-ID:Date: 28 Sep 89 19:55:40 GMT Organization: Class of '92, Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh, PA Lines: 9 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. Harold Shapiro (hs0i@andrew.cmu.edu)
