Most memory cards are 32-bit for 386/486 systems but they are not EISA, usually
proprietary.  There are EISA cards from Mylex, Adaptec, and others on the
market, includuing Ethernet, SCSI controllers, etc.  My understanding is that
they don't buy you a lot unless you're running something like 386 UNIXor
386 Novell.
