I have the opportunity to buy abrand new 486DX-33 motherboard with AMI
BIOS for a mere $100.

Needless to say, I am a *TAD* wary. I was wondering what all of you
folks thought would be the best compatibility test program in the public
domain. Would it be the PC-Magazine benchmarks, or what?

Respond via e-mail, please.
