  There are enough systems out there which will not accept enough clone
motherboards that many people will not be able to easily get a match. It
is also a lot faster to install the ACC (about 4 minutes if you know
what you're doing).

  If you have a nice standard system and know a vendor of a motherboard
which will fit, you might as well go that way. That still leaves a nitch
market for ACC (laptops, for instance).

  It also seems to me that ACC can do something which a 386 can't unless
there's hardware support, but I can't remember what it is. LIM 4.0?
Maybe someone will remember better than I do.
