I would like to know if there is a preferred 386/286 accellerator board for 
use in an old 4.77MHz clone.

I am looking to replace my XT and I'm not sure which way to go.  i.e., replace
the motherboard; add an accelerator card; buy a box with an 386 in it.

Any input would be enlightening and appreciated!
