I'd like to hear your experiences about running Windows on a 286-
based PC.  Minimum RAM? Desireable RAM? monitor? DOS apps?
Windows apps?  etc...

My feeling is that the base platform should be a 386SX and the
price difference between 286 and 386SX tells me to go for the
latter.

Thanks in advance.
