- Um, what are the sources for these two items at these prices? Seem a
- little low, I see closer to $2K each (well, $1750-ish.)
-
- Also, while I'm asking...
-
- >- 50MHz 486DX2 EISA w/ SCSI, 8Mb, 340Mb, svga ($3695)
-
- This may well be a very good price (it looks good to me), but my
- understanding of a 50MHZ 486DX2 is that it is a clock-doubled 25MHZ
- 486, but the I/O bus still runs at 25MHZ. Overall wouldn't one be
- better off (for Unix) with a 33MHZ 486DX? Or are they more expensive?
-
- Perhaps it doesn't matter much when you put it all together, I'm
- really just asking, x86's aren't my strong card (so to speak.)
