The SX is basically the 286 redone correctly. While it is better to get
a 386, if you cannot afford it then the 386SX is a much better choice
than a 286. Intel has lowered the prices on the SX chips and it
is now possible to get SX systems that are within spitting distance of
a 286 system pricewise.
