If you get the CBM 386, then you shouldn't run Windows. The 386SX just doesn't have the guts to run Windows at a speed that is going to satisfy an Amiga user. The 486slc, while not a true 486, is still a considerable factor faster than the CBM gutless wonder. I am not a great fan of the Windows environment, but I will admit that it is a lot better than raw DOS. I don't know anything about PCTOOLS so I don't know if Windows is better. Please advise us in the forum if you get the 486SLC – I am contemplating a purchase of one and would love additional data from a real-world user before making such a large investment.
