Glen, Before you sink your money into these machines make sure you are making
the correct decision.  I own my own company (very small) and have been
assembling clone AT/386/XT machines for the past 3 years.  The 386sx's
I put together hold a total of 8mb of ram on the motherboard and this should be
what you are looking for, not a board that only holds 2 or 4 and you have
to add a memory card... Please e-Mail me with the prices of the systems you
are looking at and let me see what they are giving you.. best.  steve
