[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Need info and experiences on 386SX

doc@nucleus.UUCP (Dave Mundhenk) (08/01/89)

I am considering upgrading my 80286 to an 80386. However,
even with dealer pricing, I am balking at the price of 80386
motherboards. I have been watching the discussions on these
an want to be fairly selective in what I buy - I don't want
one that overheats in 10 minutes or can't run a lot of applications
properly.

I've noticed that there are boards available based on the 386SX
chip. I remember seeing some discussion on these recently but didn't
pay much attention at the time. Could someone please fill me in
on these boards/chips - what are the good and bad things you've
heard or experienced and are they worth buying. (They are much less
expensive than an 80386).

[postnews is hosed on holin, so I had to post from nucleus. Please
 respond to me on one of the systems below if possible.]

Thank you,

Dave Mundhenk
