I can get a '386 motherboard with 8MB (needed to take advantage of interleaved memory) and no cache for about the same price as a 4MB board with a cache. Any ideas on which would be preferable for running a typical small unix system (ie, 4MB is generally enough to prevent swapping but more ram could be used for disk cache or a ram disk for /tmp)? Any suggestions on good motherboards or ones to avoid? -- Jon Zeeff zeeff@b-tech.ann-arbor.mi.us or b-tech!zeeff
