EV> BK>  My original desktop was a 486sx25 with 4mb ram and a 165mb
EV> BK> hard
EV> BK>  drive, IIRC. Over the years I had that I slowly upgraded it to
EV> BK> a
EV> BK>  486DX4-100 and maybe 2Gig HD. The ultimate upgrade was the
EV> BK> Vesa
EV> BK>  Local Bus motherboard. After that I replaced the individual
EV> BK>  cards as I found them at a price I could afford. Eventually I
EV> BK>  had something lik 32MB ram and all my cards VLB.

EV>Bob,

EV>When my first 486VL-BUS was built I asked for a Orchid VL-BUS
EV>Video board because of my reading of it in Computer Shopper Magazine..
EV>Some years later I got a SIIG VLB Controller Card and put it in.


I had a SIIG in my VLB bus machine also.
Adn as a side note I stil have one of the Late Issues(March 1997) of the
Bigger than a Phone Book Computer Shopper.


EV> BK>  Then Intel came out with upgrades for the CPU.I finally got a
EV> BK>  pentium overdrive chip, which ran at 83MHZ, but was 32 bit and
EV> BK>  beat the heck out of the 486DX100. Then I could watch live
EV> BK>  streaming video the size of a large postage stamp. Wow!
