-
- Several weeks ago, I posted a request for advice on how to upgrade my
- 386/33 for the best price/performance ratio.
-
- I received several responses, and I WILL post a summary before Christmas.
-
- This is getting to be an FAQ, so maybe I'll try to get all this info
- together and write one.
-
- From the responses I've received, upgrading your motherboard yields the
- best performance improvement over everything else (video, HD controller,
- math coprocessor, etc.)
-
- I've decided to purchase a 486 motherboard, hopefully either one with VESA
- Local Bus or EISA.
-
- Does anyone know where I can get a 486 motherboard at a reasonable price?
- Also, I would like to buy from a company which will hopefully not disappear
- by next year, or try to sell me something other than what I paid for. In
- other words, a (relatively) honest firm.
-
- Please E-mail or post,
-
- Thanks in advance,
-
