Yesterday I replaced the motherboard with one that holds 16 megs
on it (I only have 12 of the megs filled) - and not only is this
board faster than my other 33/386 by about 10%, but the extra RAM
really makes a difference when I run X.  No swapping at all - 

And my Computone board works just fine (the cache doesn't bother it
at all).  Now I can have my cake and eat it too!
