i am in the process of putting together a 386-25Mhz machine.  i this
point i have not selected a motherboard and would like to get some
suggestions or comments from net users who have knowledge of the 
following boards:
	1)mylex mws386-25Mhz, 64k cache, award bios, 2 yr warrenty, 
	  full sized board with 8Meg onboard capability. SI=29.

	2)micronics 386-25Mhz, 32k cache, award, 1 yr warr, full size,
	  0M onboard - 8 Meg capability on 32 bit card. SI=31?

does either board have any significance advantage over the other?  why
does micronics appear to have a faster SI rating. what about memory
onboard vs the 32bit card?

it it makes any difference i am thinking of using:
	1)seiko 1440 with orchid pro designer plus
	2)scsi or esdi drive/controller

by the way mylex is 200-300.00 cheaper than micronics in most ads i have
seen. for what it is worth - Compuadd uses the micronics board. any
help will be greatly appreciated.
