Not so long ago I went thru several motherboards in search of
one that operated properly with more than 16MB main memory.  I
never found an ISA board that would pass a through memory test
program, let alone Unix under load.

I ended up with an EISA motherboard.  The EISA motherboard has
been running ODT with 32 MB for some time.
