- Hello.
-
- I am curious as to which is better for OS/2, EISA/MCA or VL-Bus.(Vesa Local Bus)
-
- Here is my setup:
- single user on a stand alone pc.
-
- that's pretty much it.
-
- I will be running lotsa programs..games, word processors, Pascal, Mathcad,
- whatever else.
-
- Anyways, I would like to know which would offer better performance.
-
- Also, does it even matter? (ie-if EISA/MCA is much better, will it matter?
- will I ever make full use of Local Bus, or vice versa?)
-
- I plan on having a scsi-2 hard drive and a scsi cd rom.
-
- also a sound card and an i/o card.
- (and of course a video and hd cards)
-
- Thanks.
