Can anyone give a brief description of benefits (if any) in upgrading
a 4 MHz XT motherboard to a 12 MHz AT motherboard without changing
the 8 bit hard/floppy disk controller and hard/floppy disk?  What is
the net effect, say in running Pagemaker under Windows 3.0, in terms
of actual speedup (again if any)?

Thanks!
