I am considering purchasing a AIR 486/66 motherboard (256k cache, 3 VLB
slots).  For $830, it seems like a good price -- but I know next to nothing
about AIR products. 
I will also purchase the AIR SCSI-2/VLB controller to go with this ($290).

Does anyone have any experience/knowledge on these two products?

Lastly, I will need to buy 16megs of RAM for the system.  Should I stick with
70ns or pay the extra $60 for 60ns?  Will there be a difference in performance
between the two or should I save $60?

Thanks.
