Message-ID: Date: 9 Apr 91 21:57:01 GMT References: <14534@encore.Encore.COM> Sender: news@athena.mit.edu (News system) Organization: Massachusetts Institute of Technology Lines: 25 In-Reply-To: elliot@xenna.encore.com's message of 9 Apr 91 19:59:29 GMT I just bought a 386 motherboard from ATronics International. Here are the specs: 40Mhz up to 8 megs on board 64k cache AMI Bios (dated 2/1/91) SIS chipset 6 16 bit slots, 2 8 bit slots AMD 386-DXL CPU (Not Intel!) Cost: $825 This board screams! Norton SI (5.0) reports 42.1! I would strongly recommend this board over a 386DX-25. It only costs perhaps $100-200 dollars more and it is fast!
