Remember that the PVR is a PCI based board.  Most 486 systems are ISA or VLB
based.  You CAN buy a 486 PCI system, but they are the exception, not the rule.
If you are buying new, the cost difference between a Pent-100 system and a
486-100 is minimal and you'll get more life out of the Pentimum system.
