I am still running 486 VLB motherboards from 1992 using the Kingston/AMD
5x86 TurboChip. It's excellent value. Plugs into the 486 cpu slot. Runs
OS/2 (and W95 when I must) beautifully. I highly recommend it. And the
advantage for you - as was for me - is that you could continue using all
the pieces you know and have carefully selected, and wouldn't need to go
through "trial by retailer" again.
