I'm in need of some opinions.  I have a Samsung S550 286 12Mhz and
I'm considering upgrading the motherboard to a 386 or 386sx.

Which motherboard replacements have proven to be the most reliable?  Will
I be able to find a motherboard that will work in the Samsung case?  Are there
any special considerations to take note of when choosing a motherboard?
Should I get a 386 or 386sx?  There doesn't seem to be a lot of price 
differences between the two.  Do replacement motherboards come with memory
or do I need to buy that extra.  If so what do I need to look for?

Thanks in advance.

Kevin
