I would like to hear from anyone who has upgraded an XT to a 386SX by replacing the motherboard. I would like to find an inexpensive one, but not cheap. 1) Are there some chip-sets that are better than others? Especially in terms of memory management. 2) Will it fit into an XT flip-top case? Especially height. 3) Is the 150W power supply OK? 4) Will these cards work with an SX and how well (in general)? A) video B) HD controller C) FD controller D) port card E) 2400 baud modem If they will work, but not very fast(compared to the 386), that may be OK, as the rest of the system could be upgraded a bit at a time as I can afford it. Any help is welcome, but I especially want to hear first hand experiences. If there is a lot of interest, I can post a summary. Please reply E-mail. Thanks in advance. -ted- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ted@helios.ucsc.edu | "The opinions are mine...
