[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Know a good 386 VGA box?

kjohn@richp1.uucp (John K. Counsulatant) (12/21/88)

	I am planning on purchasing a new computer system late in the
Spring of '89.  And I would like to get some questions answered so I can
decide on what I want. (I am fairly new to the MSDOS world :-).

	1a) What kinds of UNIX (XENIX?) are available for a 286/386 box? 
	 b) How much should I expect to spend?
	 c) Can it run MS-DOS concurrently or as a subprocess?

	2a) Are there any *fast* VGA controllers out there?
	 b) Does it have better than VGA resolution and/or color capability?
	 c) How much should I expect to spend?
	 d) What kind of monitor do I need (MultiSync, MultiSync II, ???)?

	3a) Who makes a good (read reliable/fast) 286/386 box?
	 b) Is a 20Mhz 286 just as capable as a 16Mhz 386?

	4) If you could have your own dream (read: feasible dream :-) 386
	   color UNIX/MS-DOS box, how would you configure it?


	Please respond via EMail and I will post a followup.

					Thanx,
					KJohn
