- I have one of the first PS/2 model 50 turkeys with a 20MB HD and
- 1 MB system ram. Recently, I have seen a spate of articles/ads
- exhorting me to upgrade my system to a 386SX. Here is a halfway
- decent configuration, and what it will cost:
-
- 1. Processor upgrade $250 - $300
- 2. 120MB SCSI HD
- w/adapter $575
- 3. 2-8m board w/4mb
- on board $250
- -----------
- Total $1085
-
- For this price, I can get a 486SX clone w/monitor. Why
- should I upgrade? How can these upgrade vendors hope to
- convince anybody.
-
- Can anyone point me to lower priced upgrade provider with
- acceptable quality?
