Similarly, I went from a 286-12 to a 386SX-16, and I thought the difference seemed a bit more than just a few mhz faster.  It also allowed running games that required a 386 - They would at least run, but wouldn't necessarily be fast. For Doom, I had to shrink the display as small as it would go, and Microsoft Flight Simulator 5.0 just didn't have a good frame rate (it was like a slide show).

I later upgraded to a 386DX-40, and it was much better.
