In a recent discussion involving resource requirements with someone from SCO, I was told of very positive results running the Northgate 386/33 tower. No problems noted, and exceptional performance - better, in fact, than an unnamed, but big-name 486/25. I know it's just hearsay, but it does suggest that, just because ALR and Acer may not be solid enough to work others in their class suffer the same limitations.
