I have been considering putting one of those 386 expansion cards in my
286-16 machine.  I have several questions:

Will I be able to address like 16MB of memory?
How is the system with one of these cards different than a regular 386
	system (motherboard)
Which cards do people recommend?
What are the drawbacks?  
Is the card completely transparent to the rest of the machine and any
	software?

In general does it basically make my machine a 386?  If not, why not?
