I have an *old* ps/2 30 with an 8086(?) chip in it.  I want to upgrade.
suggestions as to how to keep costs down and get to a 286 or 386 chip
with more than 640 KB of memory.  Would I be better off buying a 386 
accelerotor(sp) board and plugging it in? if so, what kind of ports does
my machine have(ie when i see ads for ibm xt/at is that the kind i need)?
I have seen ads and heard people say that i could get an plug in board
with a 286/386 that bypasses the 8086 allows extended/expanded memory access
for 150-500 dollars.

help would be appreciated.
