- I have a 25MHz 386DX, 5 megs, 120MB HD, and am looking to upgrade my system.
- The options are :
- 33MHz 486DX motherboard
- more RAM
- bigger HD
- 387
- or a combo of some of the above.
-
- Budget of about 400 pounds, which will get me a cheap 486 motherboard.
- 1MB cost about 25 pounds, I can go up to 8MB (motherboard limitation) this way.
- A 387 about 130 pounds
- I think my HD is big enough for the moment.
-
- So, I guess the question is, would I be better getting 8 megs and a 387, or sticking with 5 megs and getting a 486?
-
- Cheers,
-
- Scott.
