I am buying a new motherboard for the simple reason of uping my
memory to 16 meg from 8.  My current motherboard only takes 30-pin
memory and I hear the trend going towards 72-pin memory.  Right
now I have a 486/dx66 VLB with VLB cirrus video card and VLB Vision
EIDE controller card.  What motherboards have good records working
with Warp?  I tried to access the IBM Warp Page for the file that
that lists all the motherboards that have pasts there tests but
it won't let me access for some reason.  Should I stick with the
VLB motherboard or switch to PCI.  I don't have alot of money so
I am probably not going to a Pentium just keeping what I have but
with 72-pin memory, but the new motherboard should have the ability
to handle the Pentium overdrive chip.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!   jascott@ibm.net
