I got a few questions going through my head regarding
motherboards and so I decided to post them.  My main interest
is in 486DX or DX2 motherboards.

1) What are the basic motherboard differences besides ISA,
   EISA, different cash sizes, and Mhz?

2) Is the speed of the SIMMS a motherboard uses an indicator
   of how fast the board is?
   If I have a 486 motherboard with 60ns SIMMS and another
   with 80ns SIMMS is the earlier faster? (Provided all else
   is the same.)
   Can I speed up a board by switching to faster SIMMS?

2) Are identical motherboards made by different manufacturers
   identically fast?  If not who makes the best or fastest
   motherboards?

3) What other indicators should one consider when looking for
   a fast motherboard?

4) What is a good source for getting one?


Thanks in advance

Mike
