I'm looking at AT&T's 6386 (20MHz) package CPU 373 with an 80MB hard
disk. This is about $1700. less than our prices for a comparable
Compaq 386/20 package (with a 40 MB disk). Our micro support group
suggested sticking with the Compaq, mentioning something about low
Norton performance on the AT&T. (Considering we're still using IBM
PC/XT's, anything is going to look faster!) However, anyone have some
specific numbers or comparisons they could provide me? (Or direct me
to?) Thanks in advance.

(Considering we're still using IBM Well, I have an AT&T 6386 (16Mhz) with a 40MB HDU (I don't know the brand). I ran SI & this is what it says: Computing Index (CI), relative to IBM/XT: 16.9 Disk Index (DI), relative to IBM/XT: 2.8 Performance Index (PI), relative to IBM/XT: 12.2 So, a 16.9 on a 16Mhz box ain't too shabby. I'm just curious. Where can you get the 373 for $1700? What is the price of the Compaq? Kevin
