Regarding Windows 3.0 on a 286

I'm running with 2 Meg 10Mhz 286, and I must admit it is slow. My principle
application is Pagemaker 4.0, with the Novell Network loaded. On a 286 machine
I didn't notice an appreciable delay when using a Networked version of Windows,
but with PM, I've installed a local copy to give any speed advantage I can get.

Does any one know the upgrade options to go from a AST Premium 286 to a 386DX
(or 386SX if there is no noticiable gains for most Windows programs)?
