Heh, I never owned a 286 myself... But I did end up acquiring a compaq 386 DX33. That computer happened to have a 486 socket in it and my brother-in-law blowtorched a 486 SX25 out of a broken mobo. I crammed the chip into the LIF socket and behold! It still worked, but didnt give any performance boost over the 386.
