A number of people have mentioned that they upgraded their
motherboards, and I have a question in relation to that. How concerned
does one need to be about the speed of the cards plugged in to the
machine right now? To be more specific, if I take the cards (drive
controller, video, serial/parallel, but not memory) out of a
12 MHz AT, and plug them into a 386/386sx motherboard, can I expect
them to work?

Any other things that future upgraders need to be concerned about?

Also, has anyone upgraded an XT to a 386?

thanks for any info
