I disagree with the previous poster's minimizing the difference between 286 and 386 systems -- I went from a 286-13 (I replaced the crystal myself) to a 386SX16, and the difference was very noticeable - moreso then a couple of mhz more.

Those were the days when incremental upgrades were significant - that was a 19% speed increase!
