Summary: Why 386 for speed?


Most of the speed ratings put 386 machines with the same bus and the same
clock speed slightly above the compared 286 machines.  The added speed
isn't neccesarily worth the extra cost in getting the 386 add-on.  You'd
want it most likely for the ability to run multiple copies of DOS, a nice
linear UNIX, etc. etc.  You can speed up your AT machine with a faster
disk and a decent cache program.
