- You've all seen the varying prices on motherboards for, say 386DX's
- in ads for mailorder or in shops wherever you may live. My question
- is, what do I look for in a good one? I know that I, personally, want
- something that can hold 16 or 32 MB ram right on the board, which is
- pretty much standard. But what of chipsets? Which ones, in opinion or in
- fact (performance tests, etc), are good? What else should I look for?
