-> I'm looking for opinions on the best place offering
-> the best price on 386DX33 or 386DX40 64k cache
-> mother boards in the Mpls area.
->
-> So far, I have located a 386DX33 for $172 and a 386DX40
-> for $186 at Pony Computers on Bush Lake Rd in Bloomington.
-> Is this a good price and is Pony a reputable company?
->
-> Also, for the $14 difference, is the DX40 a good buy even though
-> it is a non-Intel CPU?  Are there any problems in running some
-> software on the DX40?
->
-> Thanks in advance for all opinions!

I run a 386/40 and love it.  I run Desqview on it with no problems.
It's 100 percent compatible with everything.
