i am in the process of putting together a 386-25Mhz machine. i this point i have not selected a motherboard and would like to get some suggestions or comments from net users who have knowledge of the following boards: 1)mylex mws386-25Mhz, 64k cache, award bios, 2 yr warrenty, full sized board with 8Meg onboard capability. SI=29. 2)micronics 386-25Mhz, 32k cache, award, 1 yr warr, full size, 0M onboard - 8 Meg capability on 32 bit card. SI=31? does either board have any significance advantage over the other? why does micronics appear to have a faster SI rating. what about memory onboard vs the 32bit card? it it makes any difference i am thinking of using: 1)seiko 1440 with orchid pro designer plus 2)scsi or esdi drive/controller by the way mylex is 200-300.00 cheaper than micronics in most ads i have seen. for what it is worth - Compuadd uses the micronics board. any help will be greatly appreciated. bobby harris brh@ecsvax.bitnet brh@ecsvax.uucp voice 919-787-8233
