i am buying an ibm pc clone with a 33MHz 80486 processor.  the dealer says 
that it sports an ISA (as opposed to an EISA) bus architecture.   Is this guy
full of sh*t or does it make a critical difference, or what? my understanding
was that ISA is basically a 16-bit bus structure! RSVP FAST!  Please include
any references to published material which may be of use to me.  Thank you
in advance.
