I am pretty sure this question has been beat to death already but as a student
I want to make the best decision....

I am currently running a 286 (which has been outdated for some time).  I was
wondering if I should upgrade it (if at all possible) or junk it completely?

I am running VGA with 40 meg and two floppies (3.5 and 5.25) and they suit me 
fine but new softwares such as Windows doesn't like it...

Any help??
