- Quick question
-
- Is it better to put a hard drive controller (SCSI or IDE) on a VESA
- local bus or EISA slot? Which bus will give me better performance?
-
-
- Also, I'd like recommendations on good 486DX2/66 systems with at least 2
- VESA local bus slots and the rest EISA (though I'm not adament on the
- EISA part). One system that caught my eye is Zenon's Z-dream II. Any
- comments?
- I plan to run windows, unix, and X on this machine.
