You might as well give it up... most proprietary CPU upgrade boards
cost the same as a whole new motherboard, I went through this go-round
with ALR machines some time ago. A 486 upgrade module cost more
then a whole new 486-66 MB from a name-brand manufacturer. It might make
sense if you have 100 of them and want to upgrade them all with
minimal down-time and can get a volume discount. Don't forget the
old BIOS though!

Besides, if you are interested in Flight Sims (as I assume you are
as you posted in this group) EISA gets you nothing, it may have high
bandwidth for good disk I/O but too high a latency for good video.
It's basically only good for file and database servers.

Just buy a new MB.
