- I don't really think that there is a way that anyone can say with
- certainty which compatible is really the best. There are alot out there that
- are just as reliable as one another. I'm sure that if you ask about specific
- names, people on the net would be more than willing to contribute their
- experiences.

- As for the Packard-Bell, my friend has a 486sx-20. It seems just fine.
- He hjasn't had any problems, so I really couldn't tell you about user support.
- The only thing I would caution about is the choice of monitor it comes with.
- His really sucks. I don't know offhand what model it is, but the dpi is
- probably around .39 or .51. My no-name monitor is much crisper than his.(Anyone
- heard of 'ACE" not Acer?).
