I have a Heath H-386/16 (equivalent to the Z-386/16) that has two 1MB Zenith 
memory cards and one Boca Research "BOCARAM/AT PLUS" 8MB memory card.  Works 
fine.  I've never tried an all-Zenith solution, so I can't say what the 
performance differences, if any, are.  Norton's SI reports a computing index 
on my machine of 17.6. 

I upgraded the original 8-bit VEGA VGA to a 16-bit Farenheit 1280 card when I 
got Windows 3.1.  It makes the window painting faster, but overall, I agree 
with the other posters; you'd be better off getting a new, faster machine. 
Even with the Farenheit card, Windows is just plain poky; window painting is a 
small part of what it does.  Windows on my Zenith 386SX/20 at home is 
noticeably faster, as is my Zenith 386SL laptop.  I plan to upgrade this 
machine soon.
