I am interested in upgrading my old 6 MHz genuine PC AT to a 386 (SX?) 16 MHz 
or up.  I would appreciate product recommendations.

Is a new motherboard the best way to go?

What about the Intel Inboard AT?  They were selling for a hefty price but
I heard that they are no longer available, although the one for the PC still
is.  This or a similar product would be much easier to install, I suppose.

Or is it really not worth it to upgrade? but rather one should invest in a
new machine?

Thanks for your help!
