[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Coprocessor or More memory

Hi,

I want to expand my computer system which is a 286 AT and a memory
of 640K.

Due to limited cash, I am restricted to a few choices :

	o buy 1 Meg expanded memory + coprocessor or

	o buy 2 Meg expanded memory


My question is will the addition of coprocessor speeds up the
computer ? If so, by how much ? What is the big advantage of
having a coprocessor ? Will there be any significant speed up
of the overall system ?

Also, how much memory should I add to run OS/2 ? Will adding
only one meg be enough ? I appreciate any information on this. Thanks !
