I would like to know what differences people have observed among the
various 286 and 386 chip-sets that most currently made motherboards
are based on.  I have encountered 4 different brands on various mother-
boards: Neat, Chips & Technologies, VLSI and Suntac.  I don't know if
it's necessary or important to distinguish between different versions 
of a given chipset from a given manufacturer.

I'm particularly interested in how they differ with respect to their 
support for EMS and their compliance with the LIM 4.0 specification.
Most or all seem to claim to support LIM 4.0 but I've heard that not
all do so completely.

Thanks for any info.
