- This probably was discussed many time already, so please
- bear with me.
-
- From what I know, EISA is a 32 bit bus capable of running
- at 33Mhz. A local bus is capable of running at the speed of
- the processor. So, if I get a 486DX-50, a local bus should
- be able to run at 50MHz, right?
-
- So, why is EISA so much more expensive? What does EISA give
- me that local bus can't?
-
- Thanks in advance for the help.
-
- Mario
