I'm trying to figure out who has the best 386 33Mhz cached motherboard (64K
cache or so).  Just has to be 33Mhz, cached, have clock/keyboard/SIMM sockets,
and FAST... ser/par/IDE/etc is optional.  Must be able to run a STB Powergraph
and/or Diamond SpeedStar (1meg TSENG4000 video cards) at optimum speed (well
over 5000 bytes/msec Vidspeed 2.2/Landmark 2.0 speed). 

Will also need the name/number to at least one supplier for said board. 
Prices, Landmark 2.0 specs, etc.. all the relavent info. 

A good supplier for Seiko 1450 monitors (or other top-quality 1024x768
non-interlaced SVGA monitor) would also be appreciated.. ditto for Diamond
SpeedStars (unless someone knows of an even BETTER card short of a true
coprocessor board.  Unless those got real cheap all the sudden..)

Also need a supplier for Quantum IDE hard drives.. possibly Toshiba's as
well.  (I'm a Quantum fan..)

A friend of mine will be putting this system together.. I'll be considering
upgrading my 386SX-16/20 according to his experiences (I've got a Deico
motherboard.. solidly built, but not very fast.  Doesn't run my STB
Powergraph worth squat.  My friend and I are speed freaks..)

All help is appreciated...
