One might ask if the costs of upgrading to a 20mhz 286 or
16mhz 386 are worth  if only DOS applications are to be 
used. 12 mhz 286 motherboards are in the $100-150
range, while the fast 286 or the 386sx are $300 and up.
In the case of the the 286 you're just getting an increase in
speed of less than 100%.
