Subject: Best 'thing' to upgrade?

I have a 25MHz 386DX, 5 megs, 120MB HD, and am looking to upgrade my system.
The options are :
        33MHz 486DX motherboard
        more RAM
        bigger HD
        387
        or a combo of some of the above.

Budget of about 400 pounds, which will get me a cheap 486 motherboard.
1MB cost about 25 pounds, I can go up to 8MB (motherboard limitation) this way.
A 387 about 130 pounds
I think my HD is big enough for the moment.

So, I guess the question is, would I be better getting 8 megs and a 387, or sticking with 5 megs and getting a 486?

Cheers,

Scott.
