I have owned a 386/16 VGA system for 8 months or so.
I bought it with my own money (not companies!) and it's
one of the best (depreciable asset) investments I've made.
I would buy from Northgate again, only I'd buy a faster
machine with more memory. (The 20 mhz machine is now cheaper
than my 16!). I recommend the 16-bit VGA option and a mouse.
You should consider getting at least 2M RAM, it's cheaper if
you buy it right off the bat. If you really want to take adv-
antage of the 386, you'll want run DESQview/386, Windows/386
or Unix (more than 2M!).
Disclaimer: No connection with Northgate, just a happy camper.
