Should I buy a 7300?

With all of these Unix PC's floating around and selling for
ridiculous prices like $650 for a 20meg system with Unix, I
have been giving serious thought about getting one. Right now, I
have a PC-AT compatible, and my family needs to buy another computer
(for my mother...She's using an Apple //e now. Ack.) and it looks
like were going to go with a cheap PC. My question is: Should
I get a 7300 and give my mother my AT? Is the DOS board availible
for the 7300 any good? Will it run everything, and run it at
10Mhz? Will I have ANY compatiblity problems? How much does it
cost?
Also: Does anyone know any _REPUTABLE_ houses that sell new 7300's
inexpensively(with UNIX)? Another also: How much would it cost to
upgrade from 20megs to 40 or more? And finally, any general observations
about the 7300 (Gee...Might I get some slightly biased answers? ;-).
Anyways, thanks in advance to any and all who respond and take me out of
my quest....
