I've got an Adlib card right now with a 386SX-16.  I may soon have
the opportunity to buy a 486.  I heard from somewhere that the
Soundblaster cards don't function properly in high speed machines 
(like a 386-33).  So, is this true?  And if so, at what level of
speed does the Soundblaster start to mess up?  (Could I use a
Soundblaster in a 486 or 386 without the turbo button on?)  Does
the same problem affecting the Soundblaster also effect the Adlib??
I'd like to get a Soundblaster because of its extra features...

Thanks for any information!
