- I'm running Dell 2.2 on a 486-50 EISA from VEGA (purchased from The Essence
- Group, Computer Shopper). I believe the Motherboard's price is currently
- $1050 or so, many hundreds of dollars below a micronics. It uses the SIS
- chipset.
-
- performance is great. only regret is that it only allows 32 MB's RAM on the
- Motherboard, so I'm topped out on it.
