Sorry for the mistake. I must have confused all the good things that have
been said about gateway's machines with the stuff in the magazine. I
stand corrected.


I was wondering about the competing bus standards, EISA and Micro Channel.
Not being too familiar with PC architectures yet (my last machine was a 64)
I was wondering if someone could explain what this means for PC board
performance for peripherals and CPU throughput. 

In other words, how does it work? Or where can I go to find out?

It doesn't appear to be
as simple as the SX/DX confusion, where all we are talking about is
memory bus bandwidth. If this question has been asked before, I'm sorry.
Perhaps it could be taken care of in the frequently-asked-questions file
that is currently being prepared.  

Thank you.
