Hi,

I am considering a cheap upgrade of my 12Mhz AT Compuadd. It seems that
386 boards are popular for XT's but not so much for AT's. The intel board
is actually more expensive for an AT than for an XT. I know there are a few
competitors to INTEL but they don't seem to make it in the catalogs of the
big mail order companies.
Has anybody upgraded a 10/12 Mhz AT with these? ..and observed very 
substantial improvement ? Do they provide "actual" 386 performance, that is
can you do multitasking, run Window386, Desqview386 exactly as if you had a
386 system ? 

Thanks,


PS: Please post answers, do not email. I think the topic could interest lots
    of AT owners with a small budget.
