I can get a '386 motherboard with 8MB (needed to take advantage of 
interleaved memory) and no cache for about the same price as a 4MB 
board with a cache.  Any ideas on which would be preferable for 
running a typical small unix system (ie, 4MB is generally enough to 
prevent swapping but more ram could be used for disk cache or a ram 
disk for /tmp)?  

Any suggestions on good motherboards or ones to avoid?
