I'm looking for a 486/33 to use for number crunching at home. I am
about to buy a Gateway system since I can get everything from one
vendor at a good price. I had thought about buying a system a piece
at a time starting with an AMI motherboard or any board that allows
the bus to run at speeds higher than 8MHz.  It seems that I will have
to pay more to do this - will I see an equivalent performance gain?
Please email responses.
